Diamond in the Rough Shawn Colvin

[A]You're [C]shi[A]ning[D], I can [C]see [D]you

[A]You're [C]smi[A]ling[D], that's[C] eno[D]ugh

[A]I'm [C]hol[A]ding [D]on to [G]you, like a [D]diamond [G]in [G/D]the r[D]ough

3: Every now and then I can see that I'm getting somewhere

Where I have to go is so deep

I was angry back then and you know I still am

I have lost too much sleep, but I'm gonna find it

(repeat Refrain)

Like a diamond in the rough

4: In my dreams I go down by the water

With a little girl in my arms

And we shimmer and sing, and we know everything

In my dreams I go down

(Bridge)

Like a diamond in the rough

 #Notes: Please forgive some of my chord names. I have no idea what
 # the proper names should be. Also, there is a lot of hammering-on
 # and pulling-off going on throughout the song, which I haven't
 # bothered to show here, but which, if you watch her ACL video,
 # you will quickly pick up. I don't think listening to her CD
 # will help much with all the background instruments drowning
 # out her guitar sound.

 #Intro: G/D G D G G/D G D A D
 #
 # (repeat same progression throughout each verse)
 #
 #
 #Words:
 #
 #1: As a little girl I came down to the water
 # With a little stone in my hand
 # It would shimmer and sing and we knew everything
 # As a little girl I came down
 #
 #
 #2: But in a little while I got steeped in authority
 # Heaven only knows what went wrong
 # There is nothing so cruel than to bury that jewel
 # When it was mine all along, I'm gonna find it
 #
 #(Bridge)
 [A]You're [C]shi[A]ning[D], I can [C]see [D]you
 [A]You're [C]smi[A]ling[D], that's[C] eno[D]ugh
 [A]I'm [C]hol[A]ding [D]on to [G]you, like a [D]diamond [G]in [G/D]the r[D]ough

 Where I have to go is so deep
 I was angry back then and you know I still am

 Like a diamond in the rough
 
 4: In my dreams I go down by the water
 With a little girl in my arms
 And we shimmer and sing, and we know everything
