Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

A (A6)kiss on the hand may be quite continental,

but diamonds are a girl's best (E7)friend.

A (Bm)kiss may be grand,

but it won't pay the rental on your (B7)humble flat,

or (Bm7)help you at the (E13)automat.

(A7)Men grow cold as (D6)girls grow old,

and we (A6)all lose our charms in the end.

But (A)squarecut or (Amaj7)pearshaped, these (C#dim)rocks don't lose (F#7)their shape;

(Bm7)diamonds are a (E9)girl's best friend.

Tiffany's!

Cartier!

Cartier!

(Adim7)Black Starr!

Frost Gorham!

Talk to me, Harry Winston, tell me all about it!

I've (Bb6)heard of affairs that are strictly platonic,

but diamonds are a girl's

best (F7)friend.

And (Cm)I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic are (C7)better bets

if (Cm7)little pets get (F13)big baguettes.

(Bb7)Time rolls on, (Eb6)and youth is gone,

and you (Bb6)can't straighten up when you (Cm7)bend.

(F13)But (Bb)stiff back or (Dm)stiff knees,

you (Ddim)stand straight at

Tiff'ny's. (Eb6)Diamonds!

(Ebm6)Diamonds!

(Bb)I (A5)don't (Ab5)mean (G5)rhinestones, but (C5)diamonds

are a girl's best,

best friend.
