Verse 1
[C]I gave you a band of silver
There was no diamond r[F]ing

Said: "Baby where we're going
got no use for such th[C]ings"

You will find all the gems
that you could want right h[F]ere

On the interstates and highways
80,000 miles a y[C]ear.

CHORUS
[C]There are diamonds in the asphalt
Ain't that what they s[G]ay

Ain't that why the blacktop
Glitters in that w[C]ay

There's many a fool's follow it
to the ends of their d[F]ays
It's not their fa[G]ult

Blame it on false promises
And the diamonds in the asp[C]halt

Verse 2
[C]You were always searchin'
for some treasure you don't fi[F]nd

I have followed you this far
But, I don't m[C]ind

May - be - sometimes
we must carry a heavy lo[F]ad

we get richer with every mile
that we drive along this r[C]oad (CHORUS)

(SOLO) - same chords as Chorus

Verse 3
[C]We have come so far
Still we have so far to g[F]o

I hope to God, that someone
Will be coming to this s[C]how

And the babies are cryin'
And I feel like cryin' t[F]oo

But it's too late to turn back now
Even if we wanted t[C]oo (CHORUS)

OUTTRO
[G]Yeah blame it on false promises
and the diamonds in the asp[C]halt
