[Verse 1]
DI went walking through a valley
Thought I sAaw a piece of goDld
GSo I put it in my pocket
Dbut it turned out it was jA7ust a piece of cDoal
[Verse 2]
DSo I walked a million miles
With that cAoal down by my sDide
GAll the rubbing from the journey
DIt took the coal and formed a diA7amond deep insDide
[Chorus]
GSo I’ll raise my hands sing halDlelujah
GI’ll sing my praises to the LDord
GI don’t pretend to always undeDrstand him
But he turned this heart to dA7iamond from dusty cGoal
[Verse 3]
DSo I lay in joyful peace
and I baAthe in sunlit skDies
Gwhen I meet a weary traveler
DI remind them there’s a diaA7mond deep insDide
[Chorus] (2x)
GSo I’ll raise my hands sing halDlelujah
GI’ll sing my praises to the LDord
GI don’t pretend to always undeDrstand him
But he turned this heart to dA7iamond from dusty cGoal
[Outro]
He turned this heart to dA7iamond from dusty cGoal
He can turn your heart to dA7iamond from dusty cGoal.
