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 C A D C D
You`re shining, I can see you
A C A D C D
You`re smiling, that`s enough
A C A D G D G G/D D
I`m holding on to you, like a diamond in the rough
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
