[Verse]
G D
I am wearing old boots with high cuban heels
Cadd9 G D
Our souls they are worn and we stand here by grace
G D
My trousers are torn and my jacket is borrowed
C G D
I am wearing my time behind the eyes in my face

[Chorus]
C G
I am not looking for loose diamonds
C G D
Or pretty girls with crosses around their necks
G D C
I don't want for roses or water, I am not looking for God
D G
I am not looking for sex

[Verse]
G D
I've worn out my welcome in certain small circles
C G D
In Spanish bordellos and confederate states
G D
But there is an angel in leathers and kindness
C G D
Who whispers my name beyond heaven's gate

[Chorus]
C G
I am not looking for loose diamonds
C G D
Or pretty girls with crosses around their necks
G D C
I don't want for roses or water, I am not looking for God
D G
I am not looking for sex

[Bridge]
Em D
All the true believers are out on the road tonite
C G D
No matter what happens, you know they'll be okay
Em D
And to the rock and roll gypsies may the last song you sing
C D
Be by Townes Van Zandt and down in old Santa Fe

G D
Now I have a mission and a small code of honor
C D
To stand and deliver by whatever measures
G D
And the message I give you from this old poet
C G

C D D
He said "Our fears are like dragons guarding our precious treasures”

[Chorus]
C G
I am not looking for loose diamonds
C G D
Or pretty girls with crosses around their necks
G D C
I don't want for roses or water, I am not looking for God
D G
I am not looking for sex
