Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend (Ukulele chords)

	        

C          Fm Fdim C  
The French are glad to die for love   
      C          Fm    Fdim  C  
They delight in fight - ing duels   
   Bm5-/7   E7    Am       Am7+  
But  I  prefer a man who lives   
A7   D      D7      G9     G  
And gives expensive jewels   
  C    G       C   Cdim    C    Em7     Cdim C  
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental   
     C       Em7   Am7    Cdim   G7  
But diamonds are a girl's best friend   
   Dm  A7      Dm    A7     Dm7  Cdim     G7  
A kiss may be grand, but it won't pay the rental   
Cdim    Dm7         G7    Dm7     G7     C  
On your humble flat,  or help you at the automat   
C    C/B  Am  C7  F      C   F  
Men grow cold as girls grow old   
G     C   C/B       Am7  Cdim     G  
And we all lose our charms in the end  
     C      G     Am    Em  
But square-cut or pear shaped  
        C    G         Bm5-/7  A7  
These rocks don't lose their shape   
F      Fdim   G/B    G7     C  
Diamonds are a girl's best friend  
       C    G     C   Cdim    C    Em7    Cdim     C  
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer   
     C       Em7   Am7    Cdim   G7  
But diamonds are a girl's best friend  
      Dm  A7      Dm   A7     Dm7 Cdim     G7  
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer   
Cdim          Dm7        G7   Dm7      G7      C  
Thinks you're awful nice  but get that ice or else, no dice  
C    C/B  Am  C7   F      C   F  
He's your guy when stocks are high  
G      C   C/B       Am7  Cdim    G  
But beware when they start to descend  
     C      G        Am     Em   C  G        Bm5-/7  A7  
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses  
F      Fdim   G/B    G7     C  
Diamonds are a girl's best friend  
      C    G      C   Cdim      C   Em7    Cdim  C  
I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic   
     C       Em7   Am7    Cdim   G7  
But diamonds are a girl's best friend  
   Dm  A7      Dm   A7       Dm7          Cdim     G7  
And I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic   
    Cdim    Dm7   G7    Dm7     G7      C  
Are better bets     if little pets get big baguettes  
C    C/B   Am  C7   F   C   F  
Time rolls on and youth is gone  
G        C    C/B       Am7 Cdim      G  
And you can't straighten up when you bend   
     C      G       Am    Em        C      G             Bm5-/7    A7  
But stiff back or stiff knees, you stand straight at    Tiff'ny's   
F            Fm7          C  E7        Bm5-/7    A  
Diamonds     diamonds     I don't mean rhinestones   
A9  F       F#7  G       Fdim    G   C  F Fm7  C  G     C   
But diamonds       are a girl's best             best friend
