Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend Chords

[Intro]
A               Bb      A
The French are glad to die for love
                 Bb      A
They delight in fighting duels
Ddim            F#m     Em
But I prefer a man who lives
D       E7              A
And gives expensive jewels
 
[Verse 1]
        Amaj7
A kiss on the hand
A7
May be quite continental
Amaj7           A       E7
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
              Bm7
A kiss may be grand
        E7
But it won't pay the rental
              B7
On your humble flat
         D       E7
Or help you at the automat
 
[Chorus 1]
Amaj7
Men grow cold
Bm7
As girls grow old
          A       Amaj7           E7
And we all lose our charms in the end
            A       Amaj7
But square-cut or pear-shaped
           A7              F#7
These rocks don't loose their shape
Bm7             E7      A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Talk to me Harry Winston
D7              Bm7     E7
Tell me all about it
 
[Verse 2]
A               Amaj7
There may come a time
        A7
When a lass needs a lawyer
Amaj7           A               E7
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
        Bm7
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]
Amaj7
He's your guy
       Bm7
When stocks are high
      A       Amaj7           E7
But beware when they start to descend
A               Amaj7
It's then that those louses
A7              F#7
Go back to their spouses
Bm7             E7      A
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

[Verse 3]
Bb      Bbmaj7
I've heard of affairs
             Bb7
That are strictly platonic
Bbmaj7     Cm7         F7
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
Cm7
And I think affairs
            F7
That you must keep liaisonic
C7
Are better bets
Eb                   F7
If little pets get big baguettes
 
[Chorus 3]
Bb
Time rolls on
      Cm7
And youth is gone
Bb             Bb7             F7
And you can't straighten up when you bend
Bb
But stiff back
Bb7
Or stiff knees
Bb7                      G7
You stand straight at Tiffany's
Cm7
Diamonds
Ebm
Diamonds
Bb7             G7
I don't mean rhinestones
Cm7             Ebm             Bb      Eb  F7
But diamonds are a girl's best
Bb
Best friend
