Subject: Chords/Lyrics to "Some Days Are Diamonds" by John Denver
"Some Days Are Diamonds" as performed by John Denver
Brought to you by Mike Schweisthal [mschweis@u.washington.edu]
Chords used: G:320003 Gsus4:320013 D:XX0232 Em: 022000 C:X32010 Bm: X24432
A:X02220 Asus4:X02230 E:022100 F#m:244222 C#m:X46654
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

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 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
