      ...DIAMONDS & GOLD...
Originally by Tom Waits
I adapted cLuMsY's version

so it's (somewhat) closer to the version done by My Terrible Friend

CAPO 1st fret


        [Intro]

        Am  F (x2)

        [Verse 1]

Am      F      Am    F
Broken glass, rusty nails,
Am             Dm      C    E7
Where the wild violets grow.
         Am         F             Am          F
Say goodbye to the railroad, the mad dogs of summer,
    Am    E7           Am
And everything that I know.

        [Chorus]

     F                         Am
What some men will do here for diamonds,
     F                         Am
What some men will do here for gold.
F                                       Am
They're wounded, but they just keep on climbing,
    F                        E7
And sleep by the side of the road.

        [Bridge 1]

          Am          E7        C            D
There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb,
Dm       Am             E7
Mad as a hatter; you're thin as a dime.
   Am         E7          C           D
Go out to the meadow; the hills are a-green,
Dm          Am        E7         
Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream.

        [Interlude]

        Am  F (x2)

        [Verse 2]

Am             F        Am            F
Small-time Napoleon's shattered his knees,
       Am           Dm         C   E7
But he stays in the saddle for Rose.
    Am          F            Am           F
And all his disciples, they shave in the gutter,
         Am            E7          Am
And they gather what's left of his clothes.

        [Chorus 2]

     F                         Am
What some men will do here for diamonds,
     F                         Am
What some men will do here for gold.
F                                       Am
 They're wounded, but they just keep on climbing,
    F                        E7
And sleep by the side of the road.

        [Bridge 2]

          Am          E7        C            D
There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb,
Dm       Am             E7
Mad as a hatter; you're thin as a dime.
   Am         E7          C           D
Go out to the meadow; the hills are a-green,
Dm          Am        E7         
 Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream.
