Diamond in My Crown
D G D
As each long day rolls by and falls behind me
A
In the lonely night there's a peacefulness I've found
D G D G
Though I'm weary even then when I rise to start again
D A D
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown.
I have wasted all that life has laid before me
I have watched as all the green fields turned to brown
But I shall not disavow all these ties that bind me now
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
Bridge:
G
Shining down some day I know
D
Brighter than all their streets of gold
A
When the burdens that I carry I will lay down
D G
And the sorrows I have known
D G
I'll see them all be overthrown
D A D
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown.
With the passing of the years I will grow stronger
Just as sure as this old world keeps spinning round
Then the closer I will be to my Sweetest Victory
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
