G  F  E  E7  Am  D  G  D

[Verse 1]
       G            F        E           E7
I have written this song for you to take with you
Am7      Am  C    D7
When you go away
             C        D
Something to sing and slowly swing to
G       E7     Am    D7
On your colder days

[Verse 2]
       G      F            E           E7
I have made a start with a verse and a chorus
    Am7    Am       C    D7
The rest I leave to you
                C        D
And when next I see your smiling face
G        E7      Am    Daug
We might sing it right through

[Chorus]
G            E7         Am  D
I'll be your sweetheart al--ways
    G             E7       Am            D
And I'll love the memories of the diamond days
G           F      E   E7
I'll keep a candle burning
 Am           D                 G       D
'Til we sing again, the diamond days___

[Verse 3]
       G           F          E         E7
If the words don't rhyme then I will forgive you
Am7        Am     C      D7
That won't be the crime
                C      D
But the staring space upon the page
G          E7      Am     D7
That might look like mine

[Verse 4]
       G      F            E           E7
I have made a start with a verse and a chorus
    Am7    Am       C    D7
The rest I leave to you
                C        D
And when next I see your smiling face
G        E7      Am    Daug
We might sing it right through

[Chorus]
G            E7         Am  D
I'll be your sweetheart al--ways
    G             E7       Am            D
And I'll love the memories of the diamond days
G           F      E   E7
I'll keep a candle burning
 Am           D                 G    E
'Til we sing again, the diamond days___
 Am           D                 G    Em  Am  D7  G
'Til we sing again, the diamond days___
