Intro: Em D C D
G Em G Em C
How old was I, five or six or so
G C D
The innocent years, long ago
G Em G Em C
My father on his chair, reaching up so far
G C D G
Crowning the tree, with that old tin star
Chorus:
Bm C Em D G Em
And it shines so pretty, like diamonds in the sun
D C D
Nothing but good things will ever come
C G C D G
Little girl don't grow up, stay as sweet as you are
C Em D G
May you always find the wonder of that old tin star
Em G Em C
When I grew up, found a place to live
G C D
And I unpacked my things, I found a gift
G Em G Em
And it felt like home, though I'd traveled so far
C G C D G
'Cause there in my hands was that old tin star
Chorus:
Bm C Em D G Em
And now it shines so pretty, like diamonds in the sun

Nothing but good things will ever come

Shines so pretty, diamonds in the sun
D C D C G C D G C Em D G
Nothing but good things will ever come)
Em G Em C
I have kids of my own, and troubles, I've had some

I've cried some tears and I've had my fun

Now I climb up that chair and I reach out so far
C G C D G
And my child looks up at that old tin star
Chorus:
Bm C Em D G Em
'Cause it still shines so pretty, like diamonds in the sun
D C D
Nothing but good things will ever come
