Im Just An Old Chunk Of Coal

     E
Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal
    G#                         C#m   B
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday

Lest I should become vain along the way
A                         E

          A                      E
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
     F#                        B7
'Til I get rid of every single flaw
