DIAMOND IN MY CROWN
As recorded by Emmylou Harris
(From the 1985 Album THE BALLAD OF SALLY ROSE)

[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
D G D
I have wasted all that life has laid before me
A
I have watched as all the green fields turn to brown
D G D G
But I shall not disavow all these ties that bind me now
D A D
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown

[Verse 3]
D G D
Shining down some day I know brighter than all the streets of gold
A
When the burdens that I carry I will lay down
D G D G
And the sorrows I have known, I'll see them all be overthrown
D A D
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown

[Verse 4]
D G D
With the passing of the years, I will grow stronger
A
Just as sure as this old world keeps spinning round
D G D G
Then the closer I will be to my sweetest victory
D A D
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
