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
