E  B  A  B  4X

E                         A
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
   E                            A
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.
E
A kiss may be grand,
      A                            E
But it won't pay the rental on your humble flat or help
          A
You at the automat
Amaj7             Emaj7
Men grown cold as girls grow old,
      C#m                        A    F#
And we all lose our charms in the end.
E
But square-cut or pear-shape,

These rocks don't lose their shape
E                            A
Diamonds  are a girl's best friend.
E                           A
Diamonds  are a girl's best friend.


Let's rock   E B A B  4X   E A B  E A B

E                             A
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
E                           A
diamonds are a girl's best friend.
E                                      A

There may be a time when a hard boiled employer
                   E
Thinks you're awful nice
            A
but get that ice or else no dice.
Amaj7              Emaj7
He's your guy when stocks are high,
   C#m                       A     F#
but beware when they start to descend
E
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
E                          A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
E                          A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Let rock again   E B A B  4X   E A B  E A B

E                          A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
E                          A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
E                          A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
E                          A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
E                          A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
E                          A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
