Arkansas Diamond

	  		 

Intro 
Am   F   C   G 

Verse 1:

Am 
Call her up in the middle of the morning 
F 
5:00 on the dot without a warning 
C                             G 
Pouring my heart out into the phone 
Am 
Half awake and barely asleep 
F 
Hours spent listening to her dreams 
C                                          G 
?Cause hearing that voice makes me feel at home 

Pre-Chorus

            F 
Well it?s a blessing just to know her name 
     G 
That sparkle in her eyes can put stars to shame 
           F 
And it?s a wonder if she?ll ever think twice 
     G 
On a wretch like me wouldn?t that be nice 



C 
Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds 
Am 
Dreams bigger than a Texan?s horizon 
F                 Am 
Lord knows a poor man like me 
G 
Would do anything 
C 
?Cause your love is what I?m pining 
Am 
Cut nice polished and shining 
F 
A gem like you is hard findings 
        G                                         C   Am   F   G 
So I?ll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond 

Verse 2:
 
Am 
She lives her life wild and free 
F 
Doesn't know what she means to me 
C                                 G 
Doesn?t have a single clue in the world 
Am 
But she?ll forever have my heart 
F 
No matter where we are 
C                          G 
It?ll always belong to you girl 

Pre-Chorus

           F 
And it?s a blessing just to know her touch 
    G 
Her sweet southern drawl will make you fall in love 
         F 
And this lady that I hold so dear 
     G 
Well I?d be nothing without her here 



C 
Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds 
Am 
Dreams bigger than a Texan?s horizon 
F                 Am 
Lord knows a poor man like me 
G 
Would do anything 
C 
?Cause your love is what I?m pining 
Am 
Cut nice polished and shining 
F 
A gem like you is hard findings 
        G 
So I?ll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond
