Diamond In Your Mind by Tom Waits




                  Diamond In Your Mind







Verse 1:

E                                                E7
Shook the hands with the president, and then the pope in Rome;

             A                  A7
I've been to parties where I've had to be flown;

             C#m            G#m     C#m        G#m
They told me everything was sacred, nothing is profane;

        C#m                G#m              B7
Money's something that you throw off of the back of a train.

Chorus:

E                             B
Always keep a diamond in your mind

E7                            A7
Always keep a diamond in your mind

    E
Wherever you may wander

    A            Am
Wherever you may roam

E             B7              E
Always keep a diamond in your mind

---

Verse 2:

E                         E7
Steamer of gravy with the little fried pearls

A                             A7
Floating like a necklace on a beautiful girl

    C#m           G#m            C#m      G#m
And Chalmers said thanks for the food and land

C#m                 G#m             B7
And somethin' about God that I just don't understand

---

Chorus:

E                             B
Always keep a diamond in your mind

E7                            A7
Always keep a diamond in your mind

    E
Wherever you may wander

    A            Am
Wherever you may roam

E             B7              E
Always keep a diamond in your mind

Bridge:
              A                              E
She's got the milk of human kindness and the fat of the land

B                         E
Skin like a baby, but she drives like a man

A                             E
She lives in Natchez, and she operates a crane

F#7                                            B7
She's like a wrecking ball that's no longer connected to the chain


Verse 3:

E                        E7
Zerelda Samuels said she ain't never prayed

          A                            A7
Since her right arm was blown off in a Pinkerton raid

     C#m             G#m           C#m        G#m
They lashed her to a windmill with 3-fingered Dave

            C#m         G#m              B7
Now she's a hundred and two and drinkin' juleps in the shade

---

Chorus:

E                             B
Always keep a diamond in your mind

E7                            A7
Always keep a diamond in your mind

    E
Wherever you may wander

    A            Am
Wherever you may roam

E             B7              E
Always keep a diamond in your mind

---

Final Chorus:

E                             B
Always keep a diamond in your mind

E7                            A7
Always keep a diamond in your mind

    E
Wherever you may wander

    A            Am
Wherever you may roam

E             B7              E
Always keep a diamond in your mind

E             B7              Am       
Always keep a diamond in your mind

(Finish on E)
