A D E x2
[Verse]
A
Well he spent that summer walkin door to door
A
With a can of gas and an old lawnmower
D E A
that's a sure fine way to make a buck when your 14
A
Well he walked the block with no luck at all
A
Then he spotted a place where the weeds were tall
D E A
With a young girl sittin on the front porch eatin ice cream
F#m
Deep in the pocket of his grass stained jeans
E
Was some carmel corn and a plastic ring
D
left over from the week before
E
Momma didn't was 'em thank the lord
A D
Just like a crackerjack diamond
A D E
Never know when you're gonna find one
A D E
They found love from that day on
A D
The hand of fate brought them together
A E F#m E
Their hearts would stay forever young
A
Like a crackerjack diamond
A
Well it's been five years since he gave her his prize
A
Now the sparkle's gone but not in their eyes
D
And he's been wantin to tell her what's been
E A
on his mind lately
A
He said girl I ain't rich but I've been savin up
A
A little everyday till I had enough
D E A
And before he could finish she said "You Know I will Baby"
F#m
Deep in the pocket of his holy jeans
E
Was some money for the picture and a diamond ring
D
He took her back to that old front porch
E
Slipped it on her finger and he thanked the lord
A D
Just like a crackerjack diamond
A D E
Never know when you're gonna find one
A D E
They found love from that day on
A D
The hand of fate brought them together

Their hearts would stay forever young

Like a crackerjack diamond

Once a year she takes it out but it don't fit her hand

She wears it in her heart that's where it all began

Never know when you're gonna find one

They found love from that day on
