[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
[Gm] [Bb] [Eb] As a little girl [Bb] I came down to the [Eb] water [Bb] With a little [Eb] stone [Bb] in my hand
It would [Eb] shimmer and sink And we knew [Bb] everything
As [Eb]
[Bb] a little girl I came down to the water With a little wire and authority
And then all you [C] know is [Bb] what's going on [Cm] Because everything is [Bb] so [Eb] cruel
And very [Bb] cultural [Eb] [Bb] But it was my normal law
I'm gonna find [Eb] it It's just [Bb] shining
And I can [Eb] see it You're [Bb] smiling
It's [Ab] inevitable I'm [Eb] holding on to it
Like a diamond [Bb] in [Eb] the rough
[Bb]
Every [C] [Gm] [Bb]
[Eb] now and then I [Bb] can see That [Eb] I have a dead end somewhere
Where [Bb] I go is so deep [Cm] I was angry [Bb] back then
[Eb] You know I was [Bb] still [Eb] right on [Ab] the moon I [Eb] have lost too [Bb] much sleep
I'm gonna find [Eb] it It's just shining
[Bb] And I can [Eb] see it You're [Bb] smiling
It's [Eb] inevitable I'm holding on to it
Like a [Bb] diamond in the rough Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
[Eb]
[Bb] Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
[Ab] [Ebm] In my [Gm] dreams I go down to the water [Ab] With a [Eb] little girl in [Bb] my arms
It [Gm] would shimmer [Bb] and [Eb] sink And we knew [Bb] everything
[Eb] [Ab] And in my [Bb] dreams I go down I go down
[Eb]
You're shining [Bb] I can [Eb] see you
You're smiling [Bb] That's enough [Ab] and
I'm [Eb] holding on to you [Bb] Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
[Eb]
You're shining [Bb] I can see [Eb] you
You're smiling [Bb] That's [Eb] enough and
I'm holding on to you
Like a diamond [Bb] in the [Eb] rough
Like [Bb] a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
Diamond in the rough
[Eb] [Bb]
I will go on again [Eb] Slow slow
[Bb] I will go on again Slow slow
I will go on again Slow slow
I will [Ebm] go on again
[Bb]
