[Intro]
\nDid I hear you say, “I am”
\n(A diamond)
\nIn the rough<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nCertainly rough cut
\n(No “if, and, or but”)
\nTrying to get smooth
\n(Needle in the groove)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nDid I hear you say, “I am”
\n(A diamond)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIn the rough
\n(Could use a polish)
\nNot enough
\n(Of a fine finish)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nFound outside the mine
\n(In my mind it is mine)
\nJust need to get ‘er smooth
\n(Needle in the groove)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nDid I hear you say, “I am”
\n(A diamond)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIn the rough
\n(Could use a polish)
\nNot enough
\n(Of a fine finish)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nIn the rough
\n(Could use a polish)
\nNot enough
\n(Of a fine finish)
\nKeep singin’
\n(I am a diamond)
\nIn the rough
\n(Callin’ your bluff)
\nIn the rough<\/p>\n
