Diamond Smiles Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

ETraffics wild tonight

 Diamond smiles her cocktail Asmile

 Tonight she’s in heavy disBguise

 She looks at her wrist to clock the Epassing time

EWeathers mild tonight

 She wonders will they notice her Aeyes

 She wonders will her glamour surBvive

 And can they see she’s going down a Ethird time

EOh everybody tries

 It’s Dale Carnegie gone Awild

 But Barbara Cartland’s Bchild

 Long ago perfected the Emotionless glide

EAnd in the low voltage noise

 Diamond seems so sure and so Apoised

 She shimmers for the bright young Bboys

 And says ‘love is for others but for Eme it destroys’

The girl in the cake

Jumped out too soon by mistake

Somebody said the whole things half baked

And Diamond lifts her glass and says ‘Cheers’

She stands to one side

There’s no more to this than meets the eye

Everybody drinks Martini dry

And talks about clothes and the latest styles

Chorus

EOh, oh they said she Adid it with grace

 They said she Bdid it with style

 They said she Adid it all

 They said beBfore she died

 Whoa, Awhoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

BI remember Diamond’s Esmile

Nobody saw her go

They said they should have noticed ‘cause her dress was cut so low

Well it only goes to show

Ha, ha how many real men any of us know

She went up the stairs

Stood upon the vanity chair

Tied her lame belt around the chandelier

And went out kicking at the perfumed air

Chorus

EOh, oh they said she Adid it with grace

 They said she Bdid it with style

 They said she Adid it all

 They said beBfore she died

 Whoa, Awhoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

BI remember Diamond’s Esmile

Na, na, na, na, na, na

(This is repeated over and over again to a recurring 2 bar pattern of E, A, B and E)

This is my first go at this so please forgive any mistakes. I play this using

some palm muting. Its a brilliant little tune, from long ago. Enjoy!
