I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal
By John Anderson
E
I'm just an old chunk of coal
G# C#m
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday
A E
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect
F# E7
I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face
E
I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry day
G# C#m
Lest I should become vain along the way
A E
I'm just and old chunk of coal now Lord
E B7 E
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday
I'm gonna learn the best way to walk
I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
'Til I get rid of ev'ry single flaw
Well I'm gonna be the world's best friend
Gonna go 'round shakin' ev'rybody's hand
I'm gonna be the cotton pickin' rage of the age
Hey I'm gonna be a diamond someday
