THERE'S A SECRET PASSAGE HIDDEN IN THE TEMPLE
                     C                  G                                   D           Dsus4
THAT FEW MEN HAVE EVER CHANCED TO SEE
        D                     G                        D
IT IS SAID THAT THE CORRIDORS ARE LINED WITH GOLD
                          C                               G                      A
BUT THEY'RE GUARDED BY AN ANCIENT DIETY

                  D                                     C                                          D                    C     D
THERE IS KNOWLEDGE IN IT'S CHAMBERS – THERE IS WISDOM IN THE AIR
         (D)                                       C                                   D           Dsus4
AND NO ONE KNOWS JUST WHERE THE KEY IS FOUND
                  D                          C                     D                             C    D
BUT THE SECRET TO IT'S POWER IS A RIDDLE CARVED IN STON E
     G                           C                              D                     G         C        D
IN ANCIENT HYROGLPHICS ON THE GROUND

              D                                   G                                  D                G    D
IN THE YEARS THAT SPENT LEARNING OF THE TEMPLE
        C                            G                               D                    Dsus4
I DECYPHERED THE MESSAGE AND IT READ,
                         D                                    G                                          D                            G        D
“WHEN YOU FIND THE DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH YOU'VE FOUND THE KEY.”
             C                                 G                                       A
AND I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD JUST WHAT IT SAID

                  D                                     C                                          D                    C     D
THERE IS KNOWLEDGE IN IT'S CHAMBERS – THERE IS WISDOM IN THE AIR
         (D)                                       C                                   D           Dsus4
AND NO ONE KNOWS JUST WHERE THE KEY IS FOUND
                  D                          C                     D                             C    D
BUT THE SECRET TO IT'S POWER IS A RIDDLE CARVED IN STON E
     G                           C                              D                     G         C        D
IN ANCIENT HYROGLPHICS ON THE GROUND

                 D                                G                                             D                G    D
FOR THE DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH I SEARCHED THE TEMPLE
                       C                                 G                           D          Dsus4
BUT THERE WAS NO DIAMOND ANYWHERE AT ALL
              D                             G                                     D
THEN I REALIZED THAT DIAMOND MIGHT BE CARVED IN STONE
       C                     G                        A
AND FOUND THAT DIAMOND THERE UPON THE WALL

                          D                                     C                                         D                    C     D
AND I FOUND KNOWLEDGE IN IT'S CHAMBERS – I FOUND WISDOM IN THE AIR   
           D                        C                                       D           Dsus4
NOW I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO HOLDS THE KEY
                  D                           C                            D                              C    D
AND THE SECRET TO IT'S POWER IS THAT RIDDLE CARVED IN STON E
                  G                                C                                       D                     G         C        D
AND THE DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH IS SAFE WITH ME

THE DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH IS SAFE WITH ME
