Diamonds are forever    (video)     (midi)

 

     Am                                           Dm

1. Diamonds are forever, they are all I need to please me,

                   G

    they can stimulate and tease me,

                       F               Dm                  F                                            - G

    they won't leave in the night, I've no fear that they might desert me.

 

     Am                                            Dm

2. Diamonds are forever, hold one up and then caress it,

                     G

    touch it, stroke it and undress it,

              F             Dm                F                                            - G

    I can see ev'ry part, nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.

I don't need love, for what good will love do me?

                               Bb                                  E                          E7   - G

Diamonds never lie to me, for when love's gone, they'll lustre on.

 

    Am                                               Dm

3. Diamonds are forever, sparkling round my little finger.,

                 G

    unlike men, the diamonds linger,

                     F                  Dm                F                                          - G

    men are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for.

Diamonds never lie to me, for when love's gone, they'll lustre on.
