Diamonds In The Asphalt Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

CI gave you a band of silver

There was no diamond rFing

Said: "Baby where we're going

got no use for such thCings"

You will find all the gems

that you could want right hFere

On the interstates and highways

80,000 miles a yCear.

Chorus

CThere are diamonds in the asphalt

Ain't that what they sGay

Ain't that why the blacktop

Glitters in that wCay

There's many a fool's follow it

to the ends of their dFays

It's not their faGult

Blame it on false promises

And the diamonds in the aspChalt

Verse 2

CYou were always searchin'

for some treasure you don't fiFnd

I have followed you this far

But, I don't mCind

May - be - sometimes

we must carry a heavy loFad

we get richer with every mile

that we drive along this rCoad [CHORUS]

Solo

- same chords as Chorus

Verse 3

CWe have come so far

Still we have so far to gFo

I hope to God, that someone

Will be coming to this sChow

And the babies are cryin'

And I feel like cryin' tFoo

But it's too late to turn back now

Even if we wanted tCoo [CHORUS]

OUTTRO

GYeah blame it on false promises

and the diamonds in the aspChalt
