Diamonds Are A Girls best Friend - Marilyn Monroe
Intro:
A
[Verse 1]
A
A kiss on the hand
May be quite continental
E7
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
Bm7
A kiss may be grand
But it won't pay the rental
B7
On your humble flat
D E7
Or help you at the automat
[Chorus 1]
A7
Men grow cold
Bm
As girls grow old
A A7 E7
And we all lose our charms in the end
A
But square-cut or pear-shaped
A7 Bm
These rocks don't loose their shape
Bm E7 A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
[Verse 2]
A
There may come a time
When a lass needs a lawyer
E7
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time
E7
When a hard-boiled employer
B7
Thinks you're awful nice
D E7
But get that ice or else no dice
[Chorus 2]
A7
He's your guy
Bm
When stocks are high
A Am7 E7
But beware when they start to descend
A
It's then that those louses
A7 Bm
Go back to their spouses
Bm E7 A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
[Verse 3]
A
I've heard of affairs
That are strictly platonic
E7
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
And I think affairs
E7
That you must keep liaisonic
B7
Are better bets
D E7
If little pets get big baguettes
[Chorus 3]
A7
Time rolls on
Bm
And youth is gone
A A7 E7
And you can't straighten up when you bend
A
But stiff back
A7
Or stiff knees
A7 Bm
You stand straight at Tiffany's
Bm E7 A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Bm E7 A
Diamonds are a girl's best friiiiiiiiiiiiend
E7 A
