Standard tuning down one-half step (D#G#C#F#A#D#)
Tempo 93
Intro D, D, Asus4, Asus4

. D, D, Asus4, Asus4
. C9, C9, G, G
.
Rubbing tired hands on dirty jeans she rests for just a while D, D, Asus4, Asus4
In a tunnel that she carved herself with a shovel and a file C9, C9, G, G
Streaks of white run down her cheeks where tears have left their mark D, D, Asus4, Asus4
And she is grateful that she cannot see herself in the dark C9, C9, G, G
.
But the grime can never truly hide the beauty of her face D, D, Asus4, Asus4
While her hands use heavy tools to move earth from place to place C9, C9, G, G
She searches and she searches ever farther from home D, D, Asus4, Asus4
So exhausted by day’s end she doesn’t care she’s still alone C9, C9, G, G
.
Instead of diamonds in the rough -- look for diamonds D, G, A, A
Instead of fine lumps of coal -- look for gems D, G, A, A
Then your hands won’t get tough -- from tryin’ D, G, A, A
Because hope is a diamond’s best friend G - D - A,
. D, D, Asus4, Asus4
. C9, C9, G, G
.
With a bath she cleans her body but her spirit groans inside D, D, Asus4, Asus4
While the woman hugs the little girl who is trying not to cry C9, C9, G, G
Eyes wet with love un-given she can feel her aching heart D, D, Asus4, Asus4
Always wishing for someone to play her lover’s part C9, C9, G, G

Notes:
Standard tuning down one-half step (D#G#C#F#A#D#)
Tempo 93
She has cut her hands too many times on sharp crystal spines D - C9, D - C9
When she should gaze up at the sky from a hammock in the pines D - C9, D - C9
From high above the mountaintops her star is falling down D - C9, D - C9
Landing right beside her he holds a woven daisy crown D - C9, D - C9
Look for diamonds [Look for diamonds] D, D, Asus4, Asus4
Look for diamonds in the sky ... C9, C9, G, G
