01042.0100 Some Days Are Diamonds
\nJohn Haefner Lyrics<\/a><\/p>\n

Notes: This song sounds best on a twelve string\u2026the key change (from G
\nto A) near the end isn\u2019t necessary if you don\u2019t feel like playing it that
\nway\u2026also, this isn\u2019t exactly how John Denver does it\u2026I cut out a few
\nchords at the end of the chorus\u2026a \u2018|\u2019 mark indicates a measure
\nbreak\u2026enjoy this great song!\u2013Mike<\/p>\n

INTRO: | G | Gsus4 | G | Gsus4 |<\/p>\n

G D Em
\nWhen you ask how I\u2019ve been here without you
\nC G
\nI like to say, \u201cI\u2019ve been fine,\u201d and I do
\nC G
\nBut we both know the truth is hard to come by
\nEm C D
\nAnd if I told the truth, that\u2019s not quite true
\nG C G
\nCHORUS: Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
\nBm C D
\nSometimes the hard times won\u2019t leave me alone
\nG C G Em
\nSometimes the cold wind blows a chill in my bones
\nG D(tacet) G | Gsus4 |
\nSome days are diamonds, some days are stones
\nG D Em
\nNow the face that I see in the mirror
\nC G
\nMore and more is a stranger to me
\nC G
\nMore and more I can see there\u2019s a danger
\nEm C D
\nIn becoming what I never thought I\u2019d be<\/p>\n

CHORUS (then play an \u2018E\u2019 chord after end of chorus and change keys
\nto \u2018A\u2019:)
\nA D A
\n3RD CHORUS: Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
\nC#m D E
\nSometimes the hard times won\u2019t leave me alone
\nA D A F#m
\nSometimes the cold wind blows a chill in my bones
\nA E(tacet) A | Asus4 | A |
\nSome days are diamonds, some days are stones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
