I did see diamond on the soles of her shoes on the web but wrong chords!
I got mine from the songbook years ago when I was sat in the library at
Manchester when i should have been working.
The 5th fret thing is my touch cause I saw Paul playing this song live
in a documentary with capo on.
PAUL SIMON
DIAMONDS ON THE SOLES OF HER SHOES
(graceland)
CAPO 5th fret
C F
People say she's crazy, she's got diamonds
G C F
on the soles of her shoes, well that's
G C
one way to lose these walking blues
F G C F G
diamonds on the soles of her shoes.
C
She's was physically forgotten then she
F G C
slipped into my pocket with my car keys.
F G C
she said you've taken me for granted
F G
because I please you wearing these
C F G
diamonds
chorus:
C F G C F
And I could say ooooo as if everybody
G C F
knows what I'm talking about as if
G
everybody here would knows excally what I
C F G
was talking about, Talking about diamonds
C F G
of her shoes.
C F
She makes the sign of a teaspoon he makes
G C F
the sign of a wave the poor boy changes
G C
clothes and puts on aftershave to
F G C F G
compensate for his ordinary shoes
C F
And she said honey take me dancing but
G C
they ended up by sleeping in a doorway
F G
by the bodegas and the lights on upper
C F G C
Broadway wearing diamonds on the soles
of her shoes
Repeat chorus 1 verse
