Diamond In My Pocket

G

[Verse 1]
G
Saturday night and the moon is out, 
just a shinin' over top of the pines
    G
I'm headin' on down to my baby's 
house, gonna take her on a midnight 
ride
          Em                C     
Down them backroads windin' up at 
           G
a Kickapoo Creek
Em                          C    
Dancin' and singin' to some good 
              D
ol' boys like me

[Chorus]
N.C.              C   D    G
Baby, there's a shooting star,
               C  D   G
That one's for me an' you
    Em                 C       
So, hold me tight, an' make that 
            G                  D
wish, an' pray that it comes true
              C    D  G
Now, I ain't sure of much,
    Em   D C
but this I know
        G                          
I got a diamond in my pocket an' my
 D                       C
 baby's got a heart of gold

[Verse 2]
           G
I brought along a little courage and
 Coleman cooler, just to help me out
    G
My hands are shakin' like a 
canebrake rattler, nothin's gonna 
save me now
              Em                  
Might as well jump in head first, 
C                 G
lay it all on the line
          Em                       
What am I worried 'bout? Never 
  C                 D
gonna be a more perfect time

[Chorus]
                         C   D
'Cause baby, there's a shooting 
    G
star,
               C  D   G
That one's for me and you
    Em             C              
So, hold me tight, make that wish,
     G                  D
 and pray that it comes true
              C    D  G
Now, I ain't sure of much,
    Em   D C
but this I know
           G                       
I've got a diamond in my pocket and
    D                      C
 my baby's got a heart of gold

[Bridge]
        C                      
Well, I didn't have money for a 
 G
Broadway show,
        C                          
but the crickets are singin' to the
 G
 radio
    Cadd9
an' we've got tickets
                  D
on the very front row
