Intro 
Am   F   C   G 


[Verso 1]


Am 
Call her up in the middle of the morning 
F 
5:00 on the dot without a warning 
C                             G 
Pouring my heart out into the phone 
Am 
Half awake and barely asleep 
F 
Hours spent listening to her dreams 
C                                          G 
‘Cause hearing that voice makes me feel at home 


[Pré-Refrão]


            F 
Well it’s a blessing just to know her name 
     G 
That sparkle in her eyes can put stars to shame 
           F 
And it’s a wonder if she’ll ever think twice 
     G 
On a wretch like me wouldn’t that be nice 


[Refrão]


C 
Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds 
Am 
Dreams bigger than a Texan’s horizon 
F                 Am 
Lord knows a poor man like me 
G 
Would do anything 
C 
‘Cause your love is what I’m pining 
Am 
Cut nice polished and shining 
F 
A gem like you is hard findings 
        G                                         C   Am   F   G 
So I’ll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond 


[Verso 2]

 
Am 
She lives her life wild and free 
F 
Doesn't know what she means to me 
C                                 G 
Doesn’t have a single clue in the world 
Am 
But she’ll forever have my heart 
F 
No matter where we are 
C                          G 
It’ll always belong to you girl 


[Pré-Refrão]


           F 
And it’s a blessing just to know her touch 
    G 
Her sweet southern drawl will make you fall in love 
         F 
And this lady that I hold so dear 
     G 
Well I’d be nothing without her here 


[Refrão]

A gem like you is hard findings 
        G 
So I’ll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond
