Diamonds To Coal Chords by Jim White

[Bb] _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[Bbm] It's the twilight hour, as [Fm] _ _
[Bbm] the sun goes down _ _ [Db] _ I [Bb] see a [Bbm] flatbed Ford with a scrapyard load
[Db] _ Rattle [Bbm] off through town _ _ [Db] _ _
[Bbm] The railroad crossing lights flash on
[Db] _ _
[Bbm] There ain't no train in sight [Db] _ _ _
[Bbm] Across the moon was sun and sand
[Fm] As _
[Bbm] day gives way [Fm] _ to [Bbm] night _ _ _ [Db] _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] And _ [Eb] I [Bbm] feel home, _ _ _ [Ab] _ and I [Bbm] think how far away
_ _ [Ab] _ _
[Bbm] I got from home _ _ [Fm] _ Back [Bbm] in the bad old [Ab] days
But I'm [Ebm] done turning diamonds to [Bbm] gold _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ And _ _ _ [Bb] _
just around dinner [Db] time
This old [Bbm] drunk comes knocking on my door [C]
[A] Say he [Bb] looking for [Ab] some girl who lived here
27 years [Eb] ago [Bb] The radio [Db] in the kitchen [Bbm] display
Papa was a rolling stone And as he strolls [Db] away into the night
[Ab] And the [Bb] street lights flicker on I keep [Bbm] thinking back on
_ _ _ [Fm] _ On how [Bbm] sometimes there come a day [Ab] When [Ebm] _ [Bbm] I try to get back home
_ _ [Ab] Well all you can [Bbm] do is run away _ [Ab] But I'm done turning [Ebm] diamonds to [Db] gold
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] In _
[Bbm] love we find out who we are In sorrow we abide
Our strength's revealed by what we build From the broken things inside
But a day will come when you will know Which way you must choose to go
To travel on and live alone Or turn yourself around and try to get back
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] Try to [Db] get back home _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] [Bbm] And _ now we're high, two jet planes We have [Ab] spiderwebs across the sky
[Bbm] As that flight that bit Ford has dropped is low Now there we [Eb] go, swinging by
[Bb] And the [Bbm] silence gathering round this [Ab] house makes such a loveless sound
[Bbm] That I know for sure that [Db] I am cured
[Ab] From turning diamonds, _ I'm turning [Db] diamonds to gold
_ _ Cause _ [Ab] _
[Bbm] I feel at [Db] home _ _ [Fm] And I'm [Bbm] done turning diamonds [Db] to gold
_ _ [F] Yes [Bbm] I'm done turning diamonds to [Db] gold
_ _ [Ab] Yes I'm done turning [Bbm] diamonds to gold
[Db] _ _ Yes [Ab] I'm done turning [Bbm] diamonds to _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] gold
[Db] _ [Bbm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
