Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Traffics wild tonight
Diamond smiles her cocktail smile
Tonight shes in heavy disguise
She looks at her wrist to clock the passing time
Weathers mild tonight
She wonders will they notice her eyes
She wonders will her glamour survive
And can they see shes going down a third time
Oh everybody tries
Its Dale Carnegie gone wild
But Barbara Cartlands child
Long ago perfected the motionless glide
And in the low voltage noise
Diamond seems so sure and so poised
She shimmers for the bright young boys
And says love is for others but for me it destroys
The girl in the cake
Jumped out too soon by mistake
Somebody said the whole things half baked
And Diamond lifts her glass and says Cheers
She stands to one side
Theres no more to this than meets the eye
Everybody drinks Martini dry
And talks about clothes and the latest styles
Oh, oh they said she did it with grace
They said she did it with style
They said she did it all
They said before she died
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
I remember Diamonds smile
Nobody saw her go
They said they should have noticed cause her dress was cut so low
Well it only goes to show
Ha, ha how many real men any of us know
She went up the stairs
Stood upon the vanity chair
Tied her lame belt around the chandelier
And went out kicking at the perfumed air
Oh, oh they said she did it with grace
They said she did it with style
They said she did it all
They said before she died
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
I remember Diamonds smile
Na, na, na, na, na, na
(This is repeated over and over again to a recurring 2 bar pattern of E, A, B and E)
This is my first go at this so please forgive any mistakes. I play this using
some palm muting. Its a brilliant little tune, from long ago. Enjoy!
