Intro: Bm

Bm         A
I dug up a diamond
          Bm
rare and fine
            A
I dug up a diamond
                Bm
in a deep dark mine
                  A
if only I could cling to
              Bm
my beautiful find
            A
I dug up a diamond
                Bm
in a deep dark mine

Bm          A
my gem is special
            Bm
Beyond all worth
                  A
as strong as any metal
                 Bm
or stone in the earth
              A
sharp as any razor
                  Bm
or blade you can buy
               A
bright as any laser
                    Bm
or any star in the sky

                 G
maybe once in a lifetime
                    D
you'll hold one in your hand
           A
once in a lifetime
         Bm
in this land
                  G
where the journey ends
                 D
in a worthless claim
           A
time and again
               Bm
in the mining game

((Solo)) 2x (A Bm A Bm)

I dug up a diamond
                Bm
in a deep dark mine
             A
down in the darkness
                     Bm
in the dirt and the grime
            A
I dug up a diamond
                Bm
in a deep dark mine
