Verse 

E                         A 
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental 
   E                            A 
But diamonds are a girl's best friend. 
E 
A kiss may be grand, 
      A                            E 
But it won't pay the rental on your humble flat or help 
          A 
You at the automat 
Amaj7             Emaj7 
Men grown cold as girls grow old, 
      C#m                        A    F# 
And we all lose our charms in the end. 
E 
But square-cut or pear-shape, 

These rocks don't lose their shape 
E                            A 
Diamonds  are a girl's best friend. 
E                           A 
Diamonds  are a girl's best friend.

There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer 
E                           A 
diamonds are a girl's best friend. 
E                                      A 

There may be a time when a hard boiled employer 
                   E 
Thinks you're awful nice 
            A 
but get that ice or else no dice. 
Amaj7              Emaj7 
He's your guy when stocks are high, 
   C#m                       A     F# 
but beware when they start to descend 
E 
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses 
E                          A 
Diamonds are a girl's best friend. 
E                          A 
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
