Dwight Yoakam - If Teardrops Were Diamonds Chords

If Teardrops Were Diamonds
By Dwight Yoakam and Willie Nelson

D
If teardrops were diamonds and only mine were used
           D
They could pave every highway coast to coast
    D                    C  G 
And not be close to thru
G                                D
If teardrops were diamonds, cold blue
D
And if heartaches were rubies stacked up just like stone
D                                                      C  G
It would leave a mountain 10 miles built by mine alone
G                               D
If heartaches were rubies, mine alone
    A                                                             D 
You might begin to understand the price love has to pay for being wrong


Solo

   D
If sad thoughts were emeralds not counting in between
     D                                                             C  G
Just half the ones I’ve had today could turn the whole world green
G                                                   D
If sad thoughts were emeralds, and the world’d turn green
    A                                                                      D
You might just get the message that there’s more to loneliness than can be seen
