New version

Tone: [Am]

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]Pouring my heart out into the [G]phone

[Am]Half awake and barely asleep

[F]Hours spent listening to her dreams

[C]‘Cause hearing that voice makes me feel at [G]home

Pre-Chorus:

Well it’s a [F]blessing just to know her name

That [G]sparkle in her eyes can put stars to shame

And it’s a [F]wonder if she’ll ever think twice

On a [G]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

So I’ll [G]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]Doesn’t have a single clue in the [G]world

[Am]But she’ll forever have my heart

[F]No matter where we are

[C]It’ll always belong to you [G]girl

Pre-Chorus:

And it’s a [F]blessing just to know her touch

Her [G]sweet southern drawl will make you fall in love

And this [F]lady that I hold so dear

Well [G]I’d be nothing without her here
