[Intro]
Bm
 
[Verse 1]
            A
I dug up a diamond
          Bm
rare and fine
            A
I dug up a diamond
               Bm
in a deep dark mine
                 A
if only I could cling to
              Bm
my beautiful find
            A
I dug up a diamond
               Bm
in a deep dark mine
 
[Verse 2]
           A
my gem is special
            Bm
Beyond all worth
                  A
as strong as any metal
                Bm
or stone in the earth
              A
sharp as any razor
                 Bm
or blade you can buy
               A
bright as any laser
                   Bm
or any star in the sky
 
[Chorus]
                 G
maybe once in a lifetime
                Bm
you'll hold one in your hand
           A
once in a lifetime
         Bm
in this land
                   G
where the journey ends
               D
in a worthless claim
          A
time and again
              Bm
in the mining game

[Verse 3]
            A
I dug up a diamond
          Bm
rare and fine
            A
I dug up a diamond
                Bm
in a deep dark mine
             A
down in the darkness
                    Bm
in the dirt and the grime
            A
I dug up a diamond
                Bm
in a deep dark mine
