[VERSE]
[G]I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm go[B7]nna be a diamond some d[G7]ay
I'm go[C]nna grow and glow till I'm so b[G]lue pure perfect
I'm gonna p[A]ut a smile on everybody's f[D]ace

[CHORUS]
But I[G]'m gonna kneel and pray every day
Lest I sh[B7]ould become vain along the w[G7]ay
I'm j[C]ust an old chunk of c[G]oal now L[Em]ord
But I'm gonna be a dia[G]mond some d[D]ay

[VERSE]
I'm go[G]nna learn the right way to talk
I'm gonna se[B7]arch and find a better way to t[G7]alk
I'm go[C]nna spit and polish my old rough ed[G]ged self
Till [A]I get rid of every single f[D]law

[CHORUS]
I'm go[G]nna be the world's best friend
I'm gonna [B7]go round shaking everybody's h[G7]and
I'm go[C]nna be the cotton pickin' r[G]age of the [Em]age
Yes I'm gonna be a di[G]amond some d[D]ay

[OUTRO]
Now I[C]'m just an old ch[G]unk of coal now L[Em]ord
But I[G]'m gonna be a dia[D]mond some d[G]ay
