She’s a diamond (Listen to midi) (Listen to sample)

PERON:

Am - Dm E - Am

1. But on the other hand she's all they have,

F G - C Am

she's a diamond in their dull grey lives, and that's the

Dm G Am

hardest kind of stone, it usually survives.

F G - C Am

And when you think about it, can you recall

Bb F A

the last time they loved anyone at all?

Dm E - Am

2. She's not a bauble you can brush aside,

F G - C Am

she's been out doing what we just talked about, example:

Dm G Am

gave us back our businesses, got the English out.

F G - C Am

And when you think about it, well, why not do

Bb F A

one or two of the things we promised to?

Dm E - Am

3. But on the other hand, she's slowing down,

F G - C Am

she's lost a little of that magic drive - but I would

Dm G - Am

not advise those critics present to derive

F G - C Am

any satisfaction from her fading star :

Bb F A

She's the one who's kept us where we are.

Bb F B

OFFICERS: She's the one who's kept you where you are.
