Tom: A
A
Well he spent that summer walkin door to door
A
With a can of gas and an old lawnmower
D E A
that's a sure fine way to make a buck when your 14
A
Well he walked the block with no luck at all
A
Then he spotted a place where the weeds were tall
D E A
With a young girl sittin on the front porch eatin ice cream
F#m
Deep in the pocket of his grass stained jeans
E
Was some carmel corn and a plastic ring
D
left over from the week before
E
Momma didn't was 'em thank the lord
A D
Just like a crackerjack diamond
A D E
Never know when you're gonna find one
A D E
They found love from that day on
A D
The hand of fate brought them together
A E F#m E
Their hearts would stay forever young
A
Like a crackerjack diamond
A
Well it's been five years since he gave her his prize
A
Now the sparkle's gone but not in their eyes
D
And he's been wantin to tell her what's been
E A
on his mind lately
A
He said girl I ain't rich but I've been savin up
A
A little everyday till I had enough
D E A
And before he could finish she said "You Know I will Baby"
F#m
Deep in the pocket of his holy jeans
E
Was some money for the picture and a diamond ring
D
He took her back to that old front porch
E
Slipped it on her finger and he thanked the lord
A D
Just like a crackerjack diamond
A D E
Never know when you're gonna find one
A D E
They found love from that day on
A D
The hand of fate brought them together
A E F#m E
Their hearts would stay forever young
A
Like a crackerjack diamond
[Instrumental]
A D E A D E
D A
Once a year she takes it out but it don't fit her hand
D E
She wears it in her heart that's where it all began
A D
Just like a crackerjack diamond
A D E
Never know when you're gonna find one
A D E
They found love from that day on
A D
The hand of fate brought them together
A E F#m E
Their hearts would stay forever young
A D E A D E
Like a crackerjack diamond
A D E A D E A
Like a Crackerjack diamond
