Arkansas Diamond

Capo 2nd fret

[Intro]

Am   F   C   G

[Verse 1]

Am

Call her up in the middle of the morning

F

5:00 on the dot without a warning

C                             G

Pouring my heart out into the phone

Am

Half awake and barely asleep

F

Hours spent listening to her dreams

C                                          G

‘Cause hearing that voice makes me feel at home

[Pre-Chorus]

            F

Well it’s a blessing just to know her name

     G

That sparkle in her eyes can put stars to shame

           F

And it’s a wonder if she’ll ever think twice

     G

On a wretch like me wouldn’t that be nice

[Chorus]

C

Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds

Am

Dreams bigger than a Texan’s horizon

F                 Am

Lord knows a poor man like me

G

Would do anything

C

‘Cause your love is what I’m pining

Am

Cut nice polished and shining

F

A gem like you is hard findings

        G                                         C   Am   F   G

So I’ll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond

[Verse 2]

Am

She lives her life wild and free

F

Doesn't know what she means to me

C                                 G

Doesn’t have a single clue in the world

Am

But she’ll forever have my heart

F

No matter where we are

C                          G

It’ll always belong to you girl

[Pre-Chorus]

           F

And it’s a blessing just to know her touch

    G

Her sweet southern drawl will make you fall in love

         F

And this lady that I hold so dear

     G

Well I’d be nothing without her here

[Chorus]

C

Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds

Am

Dreams bigger than a Texan’s horizon

F                 Am

Lord knows a poor man like me

G

Would do anything

C

‘Cause your love is what I’m pining

Am

Cut nice polished and shining

F

A gem like you is hard findings

        G

So I’ll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond

[Outro]

C   Am   F   G                                        C

             Keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond
