I'm gonna kneel and pray every day

Lest I should become vain along the way
F                        C
I'm just an old chunk of coal, oh Lord

But I'm gonna be a diamond someday

C
I'm gonna learn the best way to walk

I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk
    F                                C
And I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
     D                         G
'Til I get rid of every single flaw
C
I'm gonna be the world's best friend
          E7                            Am
I'm gonna go 'round shaking everybody's hand
     F                               C
Hey
I'm gonna be the cotton pickin' rage of the age
               G           C    G
I'm gonna be a diamond someday, alright
