Cracker Jack Diamond

        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

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
