E A
Hmm an old man on his death bed once said to me
E A
You are the master of your destiny
[Chorus]
D A
A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone
E A
But a man's not all good nor all bad
E A
When the chips're all down and your back's at the wall
E Am
You're the best friend that you've ever had
E Am
You're the best friend that you've ever had
[Verse]
D E Am
So you laugh when it's time to laugh and you cry when it's time to cry
D E Am
Live while it's time to live cause you'll die when it's time to die hmm
E A
Then he closed his eyes and he left me alone
E A
This old man's wisdom brought his meaning home
[Chorus]
D A
A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone
E A
But a man's not all good nor all bad
E A
When the chips're all down and your back's at the wall
E Am
You're the best friend that you've ever had
E Am
You're the best friend that you've ever had
[Verse]
D E Am
So you laugh when it's time to laugh and you cry when it's time to cry
D E Am
Live while it's time to live cause you'll die when it's time to die hmm
E A
Well now that I'm older I found this is true
E A
The thing that remains is the good that you do
[Chorus]
D A
A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone
E A
But a man's not all good nor all bad
E A
When the chips're all down and your back's at the wall
E Am
You're the best friend that you've ever had
E Am
You're the best friend that you've ever had
