John Anderson - I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal
 
 
[VERSE 1]
     E
Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal
    G#                         C#m   B
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday
A                                   E
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect
          F#                         B7
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face
 
 
[VERSE 2]
E
I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
     G#                             C#m  B
Lest I should become vain along the way
A                         E
I'm just and old chunk of coal now Lord
    E              B7          E
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday
 
 
[VERSE 3]
E
I'm gonna learn the best way to walk
          G#                              C#m  B
I’m gonna search and find a better way to talk
          A                      E
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
     F#                        B7
'Til I get rid of every single flaw
 
 
[VERSE 4]
E
I'm gonna be the world's best friend
          G#                            C#m  B
I'm gonna go 'round shakin' everybody's hand
     A                               E
Hey, I’m gonna be the cotton picking rage of the age
E              B7          E
I’m gonna be a diamond someday

I believe that instead of E7 at the end of Verse 1 it should be a B7. The rest is spot on! Thanks for the TAB!

I transposed to key of C capo 2 the E7 is replaced with G7 this sounds best for me.

great tune! said I was gonna learn it one day...glad it was available! THANX
