Emmylou Harris

^E A kiss on the hand may be ^A quite continental
But ^E diamonds are a girl's best f ^A riend.
^E A kiss may be grand,
But it ^A won't pay the rental on your ^E humble flat or help
You at the ^A automat
^Amaj7 Men grown cold as ^Emaj7 girls grow old,
And we ^C#m all lose our charms in the ^A end. ^F#
E But square-cut or pear-shape,
These rocks don't lose their shape
^E Diamonds are a girl's best f ^A riend.
^E Diamonds are a girl's best ^A friend.
Let's rock E B A B 4X E A B E A B
^E There may come a time when a l ^A ass needs a lawyer
^E diamonds are a girl's best f ^A riend.
^{E A}
There may be a time when a hard boiled employer
Thinks you're awful ^E nice
but get that ^A ice or else no dice.
^Amaj7 He's your guy when ^Emaj7 stocks are high,
but ^C#m beware when they start to ^A desce ^F# nd
^E It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
^E Diamonds are a girl's best ^A friend.
^E Diamonds are a girl's best ^A friend
Let rock again E B A B 4X E A B E A B
^E Diamonds are a girl's best ^A friend.
^E Diamonds are a girl's best ^A friend
^E Diamonds are a girl's best ^A friend
^E Diamonds are a girl's best ^A friend
^E Diamonds are a girl's best ^A friend
^E Diamonds are a girl's best ^A friend
