Elton John


Tom: Db

Intro: Bbm  Gb  Ab  (OCTAVES: Ab Ab Bb  Db Eb)
 
 
Bbm            Gb
Oh, I'm a dark diamond
Ab                  Db  Fm/C
I've turned hard and cold
Bbm                  Ebm7      Ab  (OCTAVES: Ab Ab Bb  Db Eb)
Once was a jewel with fire in my soul
        Bbm            Gb
There's two sides of a mirror
Ab                  Db     Fm/C
One I couldn't break through
       Bbm                   Ebm7            Fm
Stayed trapped on the inside, wound up losing you
 
        Db
Tell me how does it work
    Db     Db/F        Gb
How do you make things fit
      Fm                   Bbm
Spent all my life trying to get it right
     Ebm7                  Ab
I've put it together and it falls apart
  Db               Db      Db/F Gb
I thought to myself I might understand
             Fm
But when the wall's built
        Bbm           Ebm7
And the heart hardens
Ab             (Db     Bbm  Ebm7  Ab)*
You get a dark diamond
     (Bbm   Gb  Ebm7  Ab)*
Dark diamond
 
Oh, I'm a dark diamond
But you're something else
You read me more than I read myself
The one star I could count on
Only comet I could trust
You burnt through my life to the true meaning of love
 
(CHORUS)
 
Bbm  Gb  Ab  Db  Fm/C
 
Bbm  Ebm7  Fm
 
(CHORUS)
 
Ab             (Db     Bbm  Ebm7  Ab)*
You get a dark diamond
     (Bbm   Gb  Ebm7  Ab)*
Dark diamond
(REPEAT, FADE)
