John Anderson - Old chunk of coal

I^G'm just an o^Cld chunk of ^Gcoal, But ^BI'm gonna be a ^B7diamond some ^Emday, ^CI'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so ^Gblue pure and perfect, I'm gonna ^Aput a smile on e^A7v'rybody's ^Dface. ^D7

^GI'm gonna kneel and ^Cpray ev'ry ^Gday, Lest ^BI should become v^B7ain along the ^Emway. ^CI'm just and old chunk of^G coal now Lord, But ^A7I'm gonna be a ^D7diamond some d^Gay.

^GI'm gonna learn the ^Cbest words to ^Gtalk, Gonna ^Bsearch and find a ^B7better way to ^Emwalk. ^CI'm gonna spit and polish my old ^Grough-edged self, 'Til I^A get rid of ^A7ev'ry single f^Dlaw. ^D7

Well ^GI'm gonna be the w^Corld's best ^Gfriend, Gonna ^Bgo 'round shakin' ^B7ev'rybody's ^Emhand. Oh, ^CI'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' r^Gage of the age, I'm g^A7onna be a d^D7iamond some ^Gday.

I^G'm just an o^Cld chunk of ^Gcoal, But ^BI'm gonna be a ^B7diamond some ^Emday, ^CI'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so ^Gblue pure and perfect, I'm gonna ^Aput a smile on e^A7v'rybody's ^Dface. ^D7

^GI'm gonna kneel and ^Cpray ev'ry ^Gday, Lest ^BI should become v^B7ain along the ^Emway. ^CI'm just and old chunk of^G coal now Lord, But ^A7I'm gonna be a d^D7iamond some d^Gay.
