Diamond State
E F#m
Take me back those summer days
A B
Winters making my old bones ache
E F#m
Ill return when the weathers changed
A B
Ill see you in the Diamond State again
E F#m
Well I got religion and the old north wind
A B
All the colours came, the colours went
E F#m
I swore to get right with my family and friends
A B
Gave my bottle to the preacher, start over again, singing
E F#m
Take me back those summer days
A B
Winters making my old bones ache
E F#m
Ill return when the weathers changed
A B
Ill see you in the Diamond State again
E F#m
Well hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
A B
She took all the whiskey and all the corn
E F#m
She set fire to my house, and took off in a storm
A B
Even after shes gone shes still keeping me warm
E F#m
Take me back those summer days
A B
Winters making my old bones ache
E F#m
Ill return when the weathers changed
A B
Ill see you in the Diamond State again

E F#m
Well the roof caved in and the house came down
A B
Theres a hole in my tent, and one in the ground
E F#m
And the places Ive been aint the place I am now
A B
So watch where youre stepping, Ill see you around
E F#m
Take me back those summer days
A B
Winters making my old bones ache
E F#m
Ill return when the weathers changed
A B
Ill see you in the Diamond State
E F#m
Oh take me back those summer days
A B
This winters making my old bones ache
E F#m
And Ill return when the weathers changed
A B
I will see you in the Diamond State my friends
E F#m
Im going California, gonna pan for gold
A B
Because a diamond in the rough aint a diamond in the snow
E F#m
Im gonna empty all my pockets and admit that Im old
A B
Take my coat to the corner and hope it gets sold
E F#m
Take me back those summer days
A B
Winters making my old bones shake
E F#m
Ill return when the weathers changed
A B
Ill see you in the Diamond State again
E F#m
Ill see you in the Diamond State
