I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal

I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal
by Stonewall Jackson
 
C
I'm just an old chunk of coal 
    E7                          Am
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
F                                   C
I'm gonna grow and glow till I'm so blue pure perfect
    D7                               G7
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face
 
C
I'm gonna kneel and pray every day 
     E7                             Am
Lest I should become vain along the way
F                        C        Am
I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord 
        G7                      C
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
 
 
I'm gonna learn the best way to walk 
      E7                              Am
Gonna search and find a better way to talk
F                                C
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough edged self 
     D7                        G7
Till I get rid of every single flaw 
 
C
I'm gonna be the world's best friend 
      E7                           Am
Gonna go round shaking everybody's hand
F                               C           Am
I'm gonna be the cotton pickin' rage of the age 
    G7                      C
I'm gonna be a diamond some day
F                            C        Am
Now I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord 
        G7                      C
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
