Diamond For A Dime

E                                 
On a corner by the station a man 
   A                 E
is talking right out loud
                         A       
Trying to make a pitch, trying to 
         E
pull a crowd
                             A     
People hurry past him, they will 
            E
not give him time
He's holding out a diamond and the 
 A                 E
price is just one dime


[Verse 2]
                           A    
He isn't selling Jesus, he isn't 
          E
selling coke
                                A  
Board-boys are muttering, "Is this 
            E
some kinda joke?"
                      A       
All these travellers, all this 
          E
passing time
He's holding out the diamond and the
   A                E
 price is just one dime


[Chorus]
               A             E
Well, he's a crook or he's crazy
 A             E
So the story goes
         D           A
But the diamond is real
                  E
And only one man knows
     D          A
And if I say I love you
         D             A          
Do you want to buy a diamond for a
  E
 dime?
     D          A
And if I say I love you

[Verse 3]
 E                             A  
Night falls on the station and on 
               E
your heart's desire
The diamond in the darkness, a 
 A            E
messenger of fire
Don't throw that stone away, you 
 A            E
better understand
It's my whole life you're holding in
     A             E
 the palm of your hand


[Chorus]
E              A             E
Well, he's a crook or he's crazy
 A             E
So the story goes
         D           A
But the diamond is real
                E
And only one man knows
     D          A
And if I say I love you
         D             A          
Do you want to buy a diamond for a
  E
 dime?
     D          A
And if I say I love you
         D             A          
Do you want to buy a diamond for a
  E
 dime?


[Verse 4]
E                      A         
Love might be a miner digging in 
     E
the dark
                         A         
Love might be a hustler hunting for
    E
 a mark
                         A         
Love might be a singer looking for 
    E
a rhyme
Love might be priceless but the 
  A                 E
price is still one dime


[Chorus]
E              A             E
Well, he's a crook or he's crazy
A             E
So the story goes
         D           A
But the diamond is real
                E
And only one man knows
     D          A
And if I say I love you
         D             A

  E

     D          A
And if I say I love you
         D             A          
Do you want to buy a diamond, buy 
   D              A
a diamond, buy a diamond
         D             A          
Do you want to buy a diamond for a
  E
 dime?
