Black Diamond Strings by Larry Cordle
Black Diamond Strings
G C
My first guitar was a loaner, an old off brand my cousin let me keep
D G
Back when I was learning how to play like the boys in Tennessee
G C
I’d sit up every night and pick it until my fingers turned green
D G
Hell I learned how to make her talk on these Black Diamond Strings
G C
Well Daddy showed me three chords but Jimmy Steele taught me how to play
D G
He showed me the G run I’m still using today
G C
I thought it surely must be magic the way he made it ring
D G
But he said it ain’t no secret son, It’s these Black Diamond Strings.
G Em C G
Well I don’t know if they still make ‘em, back then they were the best.
Em A D
A good time didn’t cost much, two ninety five a set
G C
Back before I left Faye Ellen to chase my hillbilly dream.
D G
All it took to make me happy was an old guitar and Black Diamond Strings.
(Break)
G C
Now I’ve been to the mountain top; had my share of troubles too.
D G
But if I could do it all again, Lord I know just what I’d do
G C
Because if I could have just one wish I’d take a trip back in a time machine
D G
To the day I learned to play the Wildwood Flower on Black Diamond Strings
(Chorus)
G C
Back before I left Faye Ellen to chase my hillbilly dream
D G
All it took to make me happy was this old box and Black Diamond Strings
