Intro: Am F C G

Am
Call her up in the middle of the morning
F
5:00 on the dot without a warning
C                             G
Pouring my heart out into the phone

Am
Half awake and barely asleep
F
Hours spent listening to her dreams
C                                          G
‘Cause hearing that voice makes me feel at home

Pre-chorus:
                F
    Well it’s a blessing just to know her name
         G
    That sparkle in her eyes can put stars to shame
               F
    And it’s a wonder if she’ll ever think twice
         G
    On a wretch like me wouldn’t that be nice

Chorus:
    C
    Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds
    Am
    Dreams bigger than a Texan’s horizon
    F
    Lord knows a poor man like me
    G
    Would do anything
    
    C
    ‘Cause your love is what I’m pining
    Am
    Cut nice polished and shining
    F
    a gem like you is hard findings
            G
    So I’ll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond

Instrumental: C Am F G

Am
She lives her life wild and free
F
Doesnʼt know what she means to me
C                                 G
Doesn’t have a single clue in the world

Am
But she’ll forever have my heart
F
No matter where we are
C                          G
It’ll always belong to you girl

Pre-chorus:
               F
    And it’s a blessing just to know her touch
        G
    Her sweet southern drawl will make you fall in love
             F
    And this lady that I hold so dear
         G
    Well I’d be nothing without her here

Chorus:
    C
    Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds
    Am
    Dreams bigger than a Texan’s horizon
    F
    Lord knows a poor man like me
    G
    Would do anything
    
    C
    ‘Cause your love is what I’m pining
    Am
    Cut nice polished and shining
    F
    a gem like you is hard findings
            G
    So I’ll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond

Instrumental: C Am F

Outro:
    G                                        C
