A (A6)kiss

on the hand

may be

quite con ti nen tal,

but dia monds are a girl’s

best

(E7)friend.

A (Bm)kiss

may be grand,

but it won’t pay the rent al on your (B7)hum ble flat,

or

(Bm7)help you at the (E13)au to mat.

(A7)Men

grow cold

as (D6)girls

grow old,

and we (A6)all

lose our charms

in the end.

But (A)square

cut or (Amaj7)pear

shaped, these (C#dim)rocks

don’t lose (F#7)their shape;

(Bm7)dia monds are a (E9)girl’s

best friend.

Talk to me, Har ry Win ston, tell me all a bout it!

I’ve (Bb6)heard

of af fairs

best

(F7)friend.

And I

think af fairs

Time

rolls on,

and youth is gone,

and you (Bb6)can’t

straight en up

when you (Cm7)bend.

But (Bb)stiff

I (A5)don’t (Ab5)mean (G5)rhine stones,

but (C5)dia monds

are a girl’s best,

best friend.
