Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

(C7)The (F)French are (Gb)glad to (F)die for love,

(C7)they (F)delight in (Gb)fighting (F)duels.

But (Gdim7)I prefer a (F)man who lives,

(Faug)and (Bb)gives (Gm7)(C7)expensive (F)jewels.

(C7)A (F)kiss on the hand may be quite (Bb)(F)Continental,

(C7)but (F)diamonds are a girl's (Abdim7)best (C9)friend.

(D7)A (Gm)kiss may be grand, but it won't pay the rental (D7)on your (G)(Am7)humble (Bbdim7)flat (G7)or (C9)help you (Gm7)at the (C9)(C13)Automat.

(Cm)Men (Fdim7)grow (Cm)cold (F7)as (Bb)girls (A)grow (Bb)old (Bbm)and we (F)all (A7)lose our (Dm)charms (G7)in the (C7)end.

(C7)But (F)squarecut or pearshape, these (Cm6)rocks don't lose (Am7)their (D7)shape,

(Gm7)diamonds are a girl's (C7)best (F)friend.

(C7)A (F)(Gb)wellconducted (F)rendezvous (C7)makes a (F)maiden's (Gb)heart beat (F)quicker.

But (Gdim7)when the (F)rendezvous is through,

(Faug)these (Bb)stones still (Gm7)keep (C7)their (F)flicker.

(C7)There (F)may come a time when a lass needs a (Bb)(F)lawyer,

(C7)but (F)diamonds are a girl's (Abdim7)best (C9)friend.

(D7)There (Gm)may come a time when a hardboiled employer (D7)thinks you're (G)(Am7)awful (Bbdim7)nice,

(G7)but (C9)get that (Gm7)"ice" or (C9)else no (C13)dice.

(Cm)He's (Fdim7)your (Cm)guy (F7)when (Bb)stocks (A)are (Bb)high,

(Bbm)but (F)beware (A7)when they (Dm)start (G7)to (C7)descend.

(C7)It's (F)then that those louses go (Cm6)back to their (Am7)(D7)spouses,

(Gm7)diamonds are a girl's (C7)best (F)friend.

(C7)A (F)friend.
