        D5  
She's a rich girl, she don't try to hide it
                 A5            D5
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
        D5
Hes's a poor boy, empty as a pocket
                       A5           D5
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
        G5         D5          A5                             D5
Sing ta-na-na, ta-na-na-na, diamonds on the soles of her shoes
        G5         D5          A5                             D5
Sing ta-na-na, ta-na-na-na, diamonds on the soles of her shoes
  A5                            D5
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.
  A5                            D5
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes, poor boy
  A5                            D5
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

D5                        G5            A5             D5
People say she's crazy she got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
        G5                A5                 D5
Well, that's one way to lose those walking blues
         G5               A5             D5
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
              D5                G5       A5       D5
And I can say ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
       G5        A5                            D5
As if everybody here would know what I was talkin' about
       G5               A5                        D5
As if everybody would know exactly what I was talkin' about
               G5               A5             D5  G5 - A5            D5  G5 - A5
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 ......
