Diamond State chords by Joe Purdy

F#m
Take me back those summer days
B
Winter’s making my old bones ache
F#m
I’ll return when the weather’s changed
B
I’ll see you in the Diamond State again

F#m
Well I got religion and the old north wind
B
All the colours came, the colours went
F#m
I swore to get right with my family and friends
B

Gave my bottle to the preacher, start over again, singing

F#m
Take me back those summer days
B
Winter’s making my old bones ache
F#m
I’ll return when the weather’s changed
B
I’ll see you in the Diamond State again

F#m
Well hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
B
She took all the whiskey and all the corn
F#m
She set fire to my house, and took off in a storm
B
Even after she’s gone she’s still keeping me warm


F#m
Take me back those summer days
B
Winter’s making my old bones ache
F#m
I’ll return when the weather’s changed
B
I’ll see you in the Diamond State again

F#m
Well the roof caved in and the house came down
B
There’s a hole in my tent, and one in the ground
F#m
And the places I’ve been ain’t the place I am now
B
So watch where you’re stepping, I’ll see you around

F#m
Take me back those summer days
B
Winter’s making my old bones ache
F#m
I’ll return when the weather’s changed
B
I’ll see you in the Diamond State
F#m
Oh take me back those summer days
B
This winter’s making my old bones ache
F#m
And I’ll return when the weather’s changed
B
I will see you in the Diamond State my friends

F#m
I’m going California, gonna pan for gold
B
Because a diamond in the rough ain’t a diamond in the snow
F#m
I’m gonna empty all my pockets and admit that I’m old
B
Take my coat to the corner and hope it gets sold

F#m
Take me back those summer days
B
Winter’s making my old bones shake
F#m
I’ll return when the weather’s changed
B
I’ll see you in the Diamond State again

F#m
I’ll see you in the Diamond State
B
I’ll see you in the Diamond State
F#m
I will see you in the Diamond State
B
I will see you in the Diamond State

F#m
My friends
B
