[Verse 1]
Bm          D  A
I dug up a diamond
          Bm
Rare and fine
           A
I dug up a diamond
                Bm
In a deep dark mine
                D    A
If only I could cling to
             Bm
My beautiful find
            A
I dug up a diamond
                Bm
In a deep dark mine

Bm


[Verse 2]
           D  A
My gem is special
           Bm
Beyond all worth
                  A
As strong as any metal
                  Bm
Or stone in the earth
              D  A
Sharp as any razor
                 Bm
Or blade you can buy
              A
Bright as any laser
                   Bm
Or any star in the sky


[Chorus]
        D       G
Maybe once in a lifetime
                       D
You'll hold one in your hand
          A
Once in a lifetime
         Bm
In this land
           D      G
Where the journey ends
                 D
In a worthless claim
            A
Time and again
              Bm
In the mining game


[Solo]
A    Bm    x4


[Verse 3]
            D   A
I dug up a diamond
          Bm
Rare and fine
             A
I dug up a diamond
                Bm
In a deep dark mine
              D    A
Down in the darkness
                     Bm
In the dirt and the grime
              A
I dug up a diamond
                Bm
In a deep dark mine


[Reprise]
G   D   A   Bm   x3
