Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I'm just an [G]old chunk of coal
But [B]I'm gonna be a diamond some [G]day
I'm [C]gonna grow and glow
'Til I'm [G]so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna [A]put a smile on
everybody's [D]face
But [G]I'm gonna kneel and pray everyday
Lest [B]I should become vain
along [D]the [G]way[C]
I'm just an old chunk of [G]coal, now [Em]Lord
But [G]I'm gonna be a dia
[D]mond [G]some day

[Verse 2]
[G]
I'm gonna learn the right way to talk
I'm gonna [B]search and find
a better way to [G]walk
I'm [C]gonna spit and polish [G]my
old rough- edged self
Until [A]I get rid of every single f[D]law
I'm [G]gonna be the World's best friend
I'm gonna [B]go around shaking
everybody's [G]hand
I'm [C]gonna be the cotton-
[G]pickin' Rage of the [Em]Age
Yes [G]I'm gonna be a [D]diamond some day
[G]

[Verse 3]
I [C]said, I'm just an old chunk
of [G]coal now [Em]Lord
But [G]I'm gonna be a [D]diamond some day
[G]
