[Verse]
C#m
People they tell me
Asus2 E
As they look upon my skin and bones
B
You're ragged and you're dirty
A E
Hardly worth your weight in gold
[Verse]
C#m
For all of your suffering
Asus2 E
No one gives a good goddamn
B
It's all about the money, son
A E
We doubt you understand
[Chorus]
C#m
Yodelay-ho
Asus2 E
They say your diamond is too rough
B
Yodelay-ho
A E
I'd never trade it for their love
[Instrumental]
C#mAsus2E B A E

[Verse]
C#m
Sometimes at night
Asus2 E
I look upon the stars above
B
They never shine as bright
A E
As my diamond in the rough
C#m
People they tell me
Asus2 E
Just to give up and go on home
B
But to have no home to go to
A E
Is something they'll never know
[Chorus]
C#m
Yodelay-ho
Asus2 E
They say your diamond is too rough

C#m
Sometimes I feel
Asus2 E
Like I ain't getting nowhere
B
I'm walking down this road
A E
With a burden I can't bear
C#m
I never let this world
Asus2 E
Get too heavy on my shoulders
B
'Cause my diamond always will
A E
Pull the weight that I'm under
[Chorus]
C#m
Yodelay-ho
Asus2 E
They say your diamond is too rough
B
Yodelay-ho
A E
I'd never trade it for their love

They say your diamond is too rough

Yodelay-ho
A E
I'd never trade it for their love
