Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Diamonds are forever

 They are all I need to please me

 They can stimulate and tease me

 They won't leave in the night

 I've no fear that they might desert me

Diamonds are forever

 Hold one up and then caress it

 Touch it, stroke it and undress it

 I can see every part

 Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me

(Every verse from now on played like this one)

Chorus

 I don't need love

 For what good will love do me

 Diamonds never lie to me

 For when love's gone, they'll luster on

Diamonds are forever

Sparkling round my little finger

Unlike men, the diamonds linger

Men are mere mortals who

Are not worth going to your grave for

I don't need love

For what good will love do me

Diamonds never lie to me

For when love's gone, they'll luster on

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever

 Forever and ever
