Arkansas Diamond
Waylon Wyatt
Capo 2nd fret
[Intro]
Am F C G
[Verse 1]
Am
Call her up in the middle of the morning
F
5:00 on the dot without a warning
C G
Pouring my heart out into the phone
Am
Half awake and barely asleep
F
Hours spent listening to her dreams
C G
‘Cause hearing that voice makes me feel at home
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Well it’s a blessing just to know her name
G
That sparkle in her eyes can put stars to shame
F
And it’s a wonder if she’ll ever think twice
G
On a wretch like me wouldn’t that be nice
[Chorus]
C
Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds
Am
Dreams bigger than a Texan’s horizon
F Am
Lord knows a poor man like me
G
Would do anything
C
‘Cause your love is what I’m pining
Am
Cut nice polished and shining
F
A gem like you is hard findings
G C Am F G
So I’ll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond
[Verse 2]
Am
She lives her life wild and free
F
Doesn't know what she means to me
C G
Doesn’t have a single clue in the world
Am
But she’ll forever have my heart
F
No matter where we are
C G
It’ll always belong to you girl
[Pre-Chorus]
F
And it’s a blessing just to know her touch
G
Her sweet southern drawl will make you fall in love
F
And this lady that I hold so dear
G
Well I’d be nothing without her here
[Chorus]
C
Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds
Am
Dreams bigger than a Texan’s horizon
F Am
Lord knows a poor man like me
G
Would do anything
C
‘Cause your love is what I’m pining
Am
Cut nice polished and shining
F
A gem like you is hard findings
G
So I’ll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond
[Outro]
C Am F G C
Keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond
