🎸 Chorus: 
F   C   G  C




🎸 Verse 1:
C
Hey
I'm just an old chunk of coal
    E                          Am
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday
F                                   C
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect
D                          G
Put a smile on everybody's face
C
I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
     E7                             Am
Lest I should become vain along the way
F                        C
I'm just an old chunk of coal, oh Lord
                   G           C
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday

🎸 Verse 2:
C
I'm gonna learn the best way to walk
          E7                              Am
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
