Diamonds And Tears

Suzy Bogguss

-------------------------------------------------

 Eacb pair of cbords is one measure total.
[In a lot of the E measures, hammer-on quickly from 0 to 2 on the
A string at the beginning of the measure.]
[It's possible that this song uses a lot of chords with open B and
high E strings, so that E might be x79900, F#m7 might be x44200,
A might be 577600, B might be 799800, etc. See "Outbound Plane."]

 EE
   Spent my life looking for
 AAEEAA
   Happiness like it was buried treasure           
 EE
Somewhere behind the secret door
 AAEEEE
   Surely there were riches beyond measure           

 BB
I would take my sanity to task
 BBAAAsus9Asus9
   Walk across broken glass to find it            
 BB
And no mountain top was left unclimbed
 BBAAAA
   Before I ever took the time to look inside me     

 EBF#m7AEBF#m7A
These dreams of mine,       these precious years           
 AABBEBF#m7A
Oh how they shine     like diamonds and tears           
 EBF#m7AEBF#m7A
The slow grace of time,      the joy and the fears            
 AABBEAAAEAAA
Oh how they shine     like diamonds and tears   [similar to intro]        

Oh sure, there was love
And of course I thought it'd be my salvation
And in a way, I guess he was
There's always room for higher education

Yes, I have said and heard the word goodbye
Felt the blade and turned the knife sideways
But I'd crossed bridges while they'd burn
To keep from losing what I've learned along the way

These dreams of mine, these precious years
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears
The slow grace of time, the joy and the fears
Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears

E A A A E A.
