Verse:
E B
I'm lookin' at a rainbow
C#m A
Way on across them hills
E B
My baby's love is with me
C#m A
And I know that its for real
Chorus:
E B
I ain't got no diamonds
C#m A
And girl you know I ain't got no gold
E B
I ain't never been a rich man
C#m A
But girl I got you here to hold
Verse 2:
E B
We dance out in the moonlit sky
C#m A
But it pales beside her light
E B
She puts her arms around me
C#m A
And I'll tell her it's alright
