Chords used: G:320003 Gsus4:320013 D:XX0232 Em: 022000 C:X32010 Bm: X24432

A:X02220 Asus4:X02230 E:022100 F#m:244222 C#m:X46654

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

 

When you ask how I've been here without you

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

But we both know the truth is hard to come by

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

CHORUS: Some days are diamonds, some days are stones

Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone

Sometimes the cold wind blows a chill in my bones

G D(tacet) G | Gsus4 |

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones

Now the face that I see in the mirror

More and more is a stranger to me

More and more I can see there's a danger

In becoming what I never thought I'd be

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

to 'A':)

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

Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone

Sometimes the cold wind blows a chill in my bones

A E(tacet) A | Asus4 | A |

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
