Notes: This song sounds best on a twelve string...the key change (from G

to A) near the end isn't necessary if you don't feel like playing it that

way...also, this isn't exactly how John Denver does it...I cut out a few

chords at the end of the chorus...a '|' mark indicates a measure

break...enjoy this great song!--Mike

INTRO: | G | Gsus4 | G | Gsus4 |

G D Em

When you ask how I've been here without you

C G

I like to say, "I've been fine," and I do

C G

But we both know the truth is hard to come by

Em C D

And if I told the truth, that's not quite true

G C G

CHORUS: Some days are diamonds, some days are stones

Bm C D

Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone

G C G Em

Sometimes the cold wind blows a chill in my bones

G D(tacet) G | Gsus4 |

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones

G D Em

Now the face that I see in the mirror

C G

More and more is a stranger to me

C G

More and more I can see there's a danger

Em C D

In becoming what I never thought I'd be

CHORUS (then play an 'E' chord after end of chorus and change keys

to 'A':)

A D A

3RD CHORUS: Some days are diamonds, some days are stones

C#m D E

Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone

A D A F#m

Sometimes the cold wind blows a chill in my bones

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
