Old Chunk Of Coal

G
I'm just an old chunk of coal
          B7                     G7
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
      C                              G
I'm gonna grow and glow till I'm so blue pure perfect
           A                          D
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face

[Chorus]
     G
But I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
         B7                          G7
Lest I should become vain along the way
     C                    G        Em
I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord
                      G          D
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day

[Verse]
      G
I'm gonna learn the right way to talk
            B7                             G7
I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk
      C                                  G
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough edged self
     A                          D
Till I get rid of every single flaw

[Chorus]
      G
I'm gonna be the world's best friend
          B7                            G7
I'm gonna go round shaking everybody's hand
      C                          G          Em
I'm gonna be the cotton pickin' rage of the age
                     G           D
Yes I'm gonna be a diamond some day

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