G+G                                C majorC
My first guitar was a loaner, an old off brand my cousin let me keep
D MajorD                             G+G
Back when I was learning how to play like the boys in Tennessee
G+G                             C majorC
I’d sit up every night and pick it until my fingers turned green
    D MajorD                         G+G
Hell I learned how to make her talk on these Black Diamond Strings

 G+G                                 C majorC
Well Daddy showed me three chords but Jimmy Steele taught me how to play
   D MajorD                  G+G
He showed me the G+G run I’m still using today
G+G                           C majorC
I thought it surely must be magic the way he made it ring
    D MajorD                           G+G
But he said it ain’t no secret son, It’s these Black Diamond Strings.

G+G      E minorEm             C majorC             G+G
Well I don’t know if they still make ‘em, back then they were the best.
E minorEm             A augmentedA          D MajorD
A augmentedA good time didn’t cost much, two ninety five a set
G+G                          C majorC
Back before I left Faye Ellen to chase my hillbilly dream.
    D MajorD                             G+G
All it took to make me happy was an old guitar and Black Diamond Strings.

(Break)
G+G                              C majorC
Now I’ve been to the mountain top; had my share of troubles too.
    D MajorD                          G+G
But if I could do it all again, Lord I know just what I’d do
G+G                                  C majorC
Because if I could have just one wish I’d take a trip back in a time machine
    D MajorD                             G+G
To the day I learned to play the Wildwood Flower on Black Diamond Strings


(Chorus)
G+G                          C majorC
Back before I left Faye Ellen to chase my hillbilly dream
    D MajorD                            G+G
All it took to make me happy was this old box and Black Diamond Strings

THE END!
