C            C/G              C           C7
I’ve got diamonds in my backyard they grow just like weeds
                F                            D7
You’ll come and gather them in bundles, take all that you need
             C                   G                 E7                F
But save the flowers they’re for me dear, take the diamonds for your greed
            C             G         C
Because the flowers don’t grow like weeds

[Verse 2]
       C            C/G              C           C7
Glory, glory…Hallelujah, I’m lost and she’s found
           F                            D7
Another lover, to give her shelter when the fields have turned brown
           C                   G                 E7                F
Another kind man, to warm her when the snow finds the ground
           C             G         C
The only girl, that made the world go round

[Verse 3]
       C            C/G              C           C7
There are some thing worth remembering, Others left for time
           F                            D7
to come and weather and to change in the winds of your mind
           C                   G                 E7                F
But don’t forget me while your leaving, just remember my rhyme
           C             G         C
Because it’s all that love borrowed from time

[Verse 4]
       C            C/G              C           C7
Now It’s Sunday, early evening, I rise for the day
           F                            D7
And brush a long hair from the pillow on my bed where she would lay
           C                   G                 E7                F
And in the back yard forgotten flowers all fading away
           C             G         C
To bloom in other lover’s back yards someday

           C             G         C
To bloom in other lover’s back yards someday
