The [G]French are glad to die for love they delight in fighting duels
But [C]I prefer a man who [Em]lives And [C]gives ex [D]pensive jewels
A [G]kiss on the hand may be
quite continental but [D]diamonds are a girl's best [G]friend
A [C]kiss may be [D]grand [C]But it won't pay the rental
On your [B7]humble flat [Em]Or [Am]help you at the [D]automat
[G]Men grow cold As [Am]girls grow old
And we [Em]all lose our charms in the [D]end
But [G]square-cut or pear-shaped These [Bm]rocks don't loose their shape
[Am]Diamonds are a [D]girl's best [G]friend
[G]Tiffany's Cartier Black Starr Frost Gorham
[G]Talk to me Harry Winston Tell me all about it [Am] [D]
There [G]may come a time When a lass needs a lawyer
[Am]Diamonds are a [D]girl's best [G]friend
There [Am]may come a time When a [Em]hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice But [Am]get that ice or [D]else no dice
[G]He's your guy When [C]stocks are high
But be[G]ware when they [Em]start to des[Am]cend [D]
It's [G]then that those louses Go [B7]back to their [Em]spouses
[Am]Diamonds are a [D]girl's best [G]friend
I've [G]heard of affairs That are [B7]strictly pla[Em]tonic
[Am]Diamonds are a [D]girl's best [G]friend
And [G]I think affairs That you [B7]must keep liai[Em]sonic
Are [Am]better bets If [D]little pets get big baguettes
[G]Time rolls on [C]And youth is gone
And you [Am]can't straighten [D]up when you [G]bend
[G]But stiff back Or stiff knees You [B7]stand straight [Em]at Tiffany's
[C]Diamonds [G]Diamonds [Em]I don't mean rhinestones
But [Am]diamonds are a girl's [D]best Best [G]friend
