[Intro]
 DAGD
   D                                                  G
1.Grabbed his card punched on out just about nine o'clock
                                          D
  Ran out the door, and into the parking lot
                                                  G
  Gunned the engine of his '59 Chevrolet Apache truck
                                      D
  Left a little rubber at Sears & Roebuck
                                                     G
  Down-shifted, passed a Camaro, made a left at the light
                                               D
  Headed down the boulevard headed for Friday night

   D
C.Pocketful of diamonds, a pocketful of diamonds
       A
  And wings on both of my heels
    G
  Close your eyes, make a wish, count on up to three
  D
  Open them up now can't you see
  All I've got is all you need

2.Hit the brakes up on the curb leaned into the horn
  Mary shouted I'll be right down from the window on the second floor
  Her momma yelled "get home early I don't care if it's Friday night"
  She ran down the walk laughing "We'll be home before it's light"
  Headed out to the Palomino, best jukebox around
  To forget about the last five days and get a little loud

Repeat Chorus

3.Reached in his pocket, he pulled out a handful of lint
  Laughed right out loud as he tossed it into the wind
  Up above in the sky strings of party lights
  Old Hank Ballard, bless his soul, made them dance night
  Ain't it funny, what a lark how far you can go
  When you've got a pocketful of diamonds the world is made of gold

Repeat Chorus
