DIAMONDS ON THE INSIDE

Ben Harper

Intro Lick

G Am
        I knew a girl,           her name was truth

        She was a horrible liar

G Am
        When you have  - everything,
Bm Am G
you have everything         - to lose
G Am

G Am
candle throws it's light into the darkness
Bm Am G
In a nasty world so shines a good deed
G Am
        Make sure the fortune           that you seek
Bm Am G
Is the fortune that you need

G Am
        So, tell me why  - the first ask
Bm Am G
Is the last - to give - every time
G Am
        What you say and do not mean
Bm Am G
Follo-ows you close behind (lick)

Like the soldier long - standing under fire

Let the giver's name remain unspoken
