Verse 1:

E MajorE                        E7E7
Shook the hands with the president, and then the pope in Rome;

       A augmentedA         A7A7
I've been to parties where I've had to be flown;

       C# minorC#m      AbmAbm   C# minorC#m    AbmAbm
They told me everything was sacred, nothing is profane;

    C# minorC#m        AbmAbm       B7B7
Money's something that you throw off of the back of a train.

Chorus:

E MajorE               BB
Always keep a diamond in your mind

E7E7              A7A7
Always keep a diamond in your mind

  E MajorE
Wherever you may wander

  A augmentedA      A minorAm
Wherever you may roam

E MajorE       B7B7       E MajorE
Always keep a diamond in your mind

---

Verse 2:

E MajorE             E7E7
Steamer of gravy with the little fried pearls

A augmentedA               A7A7
Floating like a necklace on a beautiful girl

  C# minorC#m      AbmAbm      C# minorC#m   AbmAbm
And Chalmers said thanks for the food and land

C# minorC#m         AbmAbm       B7B7
And somethin' about God that I just don't understand

---

Chorus:

E MajorE               BB
Always keep a diamond in your mind

Always keep a diamond in your mind

  E MajorE
Wherever you may wander

  A augmentedA      A minorAm

Always keep a diamond in your mind

Bridge:
       A augmentedA               E MajorE
She's got the milk of human kindness and the fat of the land

BB             E MajorE
Skin like a baby, but she drives like a man

A augmentedA               E MajorE
She lives in Natchez, and she operates a crane

F#7F#7                      B7B7
She's like a wrecking ball that's no longer connected to the chain

Verse 3:

E MajorE            E7E7
Zerelda Samuels said she ain't never prayed

     A augmentedA              A7A7
Since her right arm was blown off in a Pinkerton raid

   C# minorC#m       AbmAbm      C# minorC#m    AbmAbm
They lashed her to a windmill with 3-fingered Dave

      C# minorC#m     AbmAbm       B7B7
Now she's a hundred and two and drinkin' juleps in the shade

---

Chorus:

E MajorE               BB
Always keep a diamond in your mind

E7E7              A7A7
Always keep a diamond in your mind

  E MajorE
Wherever you may wander

  A augmentedA      A minorAm
Wherever you may roam

E MajorE       B7B7       E MajorE
Always keep a diamond in your mind

---

E MajorE               BB
Always keep a diamond in your mind

E7E7              A7A7
Always keep a diamond in your mind

  E MajorE
Wherever you may wander

  A augmentedA      A minorAm
Wherever you may roam

E MajorE       B7B7       E MajorE
Always keep a diamond in your mind

E MajorE       B7B7       A minorAm
Always keep a diamond in your mind
