01042.0100 Some Days Are Diamonds
John Haefner Lyrics

Notes: This song sounds best on a twelve string…the key change (from G
to A) near the end isn’t necessary if you don’t feel like playing it that
way…also, this isn’t exactly how John Denver does it…I cut out a few
chords at the end of the chorus…a ‘|’ mark indicates a measure
break…enjoy this great song!–Mike

INTRO: | G | Gsus4 | G | Gsus4 |

G D Em
When you ask how I’ve been here without you
C G
I like to say, “I’ve been fine,” and I do
C G
But we both know the truth is hard to come by
Em C D
And if I told the truth, that’s not quite true
G C G
CHORUS: Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
Bm C D
Sometimes the hard times won’t leave me alone
G C G Em
Sometimes the cold wind blows a chill in my bones
G D(tacet) G | Gsus4 |
Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
G D Em
Now the face that I see in the mirror
C G
More and more is a stranger to me
C G
More and more I can see there’s a danger
Em C D
In becoming what I never thought I’d be

CHORUS (then play an ‘E’ chord after end of chorus and change keys
to ‘A’:)
A D A
3RD CHORUS: Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
C#m D E
Sometimes the hard times won’t leave me alone
A D A F#m
Sometimes the cold wind blows a chill in my bones
A E(tacet) A | Asus4 | A |
Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
