Lyrics

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.

Tif fa ny’s!

Car ti er!

Car ti er!

(Adim7)Black

Starr!

Frost

Gor ham!

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

I’ve (Bb6)heard

of af fairs

that are

strict ly pla ton ic,

but dia monds are a girl’s

best

(F7)friend.

And I

think af fairs

that you

must keep liai son ic

are (C7)bet ter bets

if (Cm7)lit tle pets get (F13)big ba guettes.

Time

rolls on,

and youth is gone,

and you (Bb6)can’t

straight en up

when you (Cm7)bend.

But (Bb)stiff

back or (Dm)stiff

knees, you (Ddim)stand

straight at

(CN.C.)Tiff

’ny’s.

(Eb6)Dia monds!

(Ebm6)Dia monds!

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

but (C5)dia monds

are a girl’s best,

best friend.
