G (320003@1)                                                             CMy (x32010@1)first guitar was a loaner, an old off brand my cousin let me keep
D (xx0232@1)                                                       GBack (320003@1)when I was learning how to play like the boys in Tennessee
G (320003@1)                                                        CI'd (x32010@1)sit up every night and pick it until my fingers turned green
        D (xx0232@1)                                                GHell (320003@1)I learned how to make her talk on these Black Diamond Strings

G (320003@1)                                                               CWell (x32010@1)Daddy showed me three chords but Jimmy Steele taught me how to play
     D (xx0232@1)                                 GHe (320003@1)showed me the G run I'm still using today
G (320003@1)                                                   CI (x32010@1)thought it surely must be magic the way he made it ring
        D (xx0232@1)                                                   GBut (320003@1)he said it ain't no secret son, It's these Black Diamond Strings.

G (320003@1)         Em (022000@1)                        C (x32010@1)                       GWell (320003@1)I don't know if they still make 'em, back then they were the best.
Em (022000@1)                        A (x02220@1)                 DA (xx0232@1)good time didn't cost much, two ninety five a set
G (320003@1)                                                 CBack (x32010@1)before I left Faye Ellen to chase my hillbilly dream.
       D (xx0232@1)                                                       GAll (320003@1)it took to make me happy was an old guitar and Black Diamond Strings.

(Break)
G (320003@1)                                                         CNow (x32010@1)I've been to the mountain top; had my share of troubles too.
       D (xx0232@1)                                                  GBut (320003@1)if I could do it all again, Lord I know just what I'd do
G (320003@1)                                                                  CBecause (x32010@1)if I could have just one wish I'd take a trip back in a time machine
       D (xx0232@1)                                                        GTo (320003@1)the day I learned to play the Wildwood Flower on Black Diamond Strings

(Chorus)
G (320003@1)                                                 CBack (x32010@1)before I left Faye Ellen to chase my hillbilly dream 
        D (xx0232@1)                                                     GAll (320003@1)it took to make me happy was this old box and Black Diamond Strings
