Verse 1
Bm          D  A 
I dug up a diamond 
          Bm 
Rare and fine 
           A 
I dug up a diamond 
                Bm 
In a deep dark mine 
                D    A 
If only I could cling to 
             Bm 
My beautiful find 
            A 
I dug up a diamond 
                Bm 
In a deep dark mine

Verse 2
           D  A 
My gem is special 
           Bm 
Beyond all worth 
                  A 
As strong as any metal 
                  Bm 
Or stone in the earth 
              D  A 
Sharp as any razor 
                 Bm 
Or blade you can buy 
              A 
Bright as any laser 
                   Bm 
Or any star in the sky 
 
Chorus
        D       G 
Maybe once in a lifetime 
                       D 
You'll hold one in your hand 
          A 
Once in a lifetime 
         Bm 
In this land 
           D      G 
Where the journey ends 
                 D 
In a worthless claim 
            A 
Time and again 
              Bm 
In the mining game

            D   A 
I dug up a diamond 
          Bm 
Rare and fine 
             A 
I dug up a diamond 
                Bm 
In a deep dark mine 
              D    A 
Down in the darkness 
                     Bm 
In the dirt and the grime 
              A 
I dug up a diamond 
                Bm 
In a deep dark mine
