I first heard it at a Joe Brown concert a couple of years ago and transcribed his version from his record ("56 and taller than you think")but didn't know the origin or the correct words as posted on Cowpie (didn't think to look there: Doh!). RtS (56 and shorter than you'd think) |

31 Mar 00 - 03:55 AM (#204453) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I'm an old junk of coal From: Stewie It's a Billy Joe Shaver song and his excellent album with that as the title track - 'I'm just an old chunk of coal ... but I'm gonna be a diamond some day' - has been reissued on CD: Koch CD-7904. Not as good as his classic 'Old Five and Dimers Like Me' album, but great stuff. The song is also included on another great reissue - Willie N., Waylon J., Kris K. and Billy Joe S. 'Honky Tonk Heroes' Pedernales/Freefalls FFE 7008 2 - 10 Billy Joe Shaver songs done by that motley crew of Outlaws. --Stewie. |

I found the attached lyrics and chords and will try to give you a clicky to get there http://subnet.virtual-pc.com/da567664 The reason I ask for help is because I cannot transpose chords.
