She's a rich girl, she don't try to hide it
                 A            D
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
        D
Hes's a poor boy, empty as a pocket
                       A           D
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
        G         D          A                             D
Sing ta-na-na, ta-na-na-na, diamonds on the soles of her shoes
        G         D          A                             D
Sing ta-na-na, ta-na-na-na, diamonds on the soles of her shoes
  A                            D
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.
  A                            D
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes, poor boy
  A                            D
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

D                        G            A             D
People say she's crazy she got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
        G                A                 D
Well, that's one way to lose those walking blues
         G               A             D
Wearin' diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She's physic'ly forgot but then she slipped into my pocket with

      my car keys

She say's you're taking me for granted because I please you

Wearing these di-i-i-i-i-amonds
              D                G       A       D
And I can say ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
       G        A                            D
As if everybody here would know what I was talkin' about
       G               A                        D
As if everybody would know exactly what I was talkin' about
               G               A             D  G - A            D  G - A
Talkin' about diamonds on the soles of her shoes ( oo-ooh, oo-ooh)
She makes the sign of a teaspoon, he makes the sine of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes & puts on aftershave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
She said "honey, take me dancing" but they ended up out sleeping
    in a doorway
By the bordellos and the lights of Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I can say ......
