Bm D E Bm
Who wants to buy-yyy, this diamond ri...ng?
Bm D E C
She took it off her finger now, it doesn't mean a thing.
F Am Dm C
This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore,
F Am Dm C
And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it did before,
Dm Am Dm Am Gm7 C
So if you've got someone who's love is true,
F F#
Let it shine for you.

Bm D E Bm
This stone is genuine, like love should be...ee,
Bm D E C
And if your baby's truer than my baby was to me...ee.
F Am Dm C
This diamond ring can mean something beautiful,
F Am Dm C
And this diamond ring can be dreams that are coming true,
Dm Am Dm Am Gm C
And then your heart won't have to break like mine did,
F F#
if there's love behind it.
