Subject: CRD: Four Little Diamonds by Electric Light Orchestra

Nice little rocker, though the chorus seems a bit out of
place (at least to me).  I'm not positive about the Ab-Gm
bits in the chorus.  Ah, well.

Four Little Diamonds
Electric Light Orchestra

"Transcribed" by Chris Gaasch

Verse:
G Bb C
     I used to think she was the greatest thing
G Bb C
     I really cared gave her a diamond ring
G F# F                                   C
     She said she'd rather die than ever leave me
             G
     Well, I never saw her face since then
                Bb                     F
     And if the law don't get her then I will
                 C
     Four little diamonds

Verse:
     She must be somewhere on the open road
     She always said she was the lonely one
     She gets you down with her tales of woe
     She took me for everything
     And if the law don't get her then I will
     Four little diamonds

Bb  F            C
     Four little diamonds

Chorus:
         Ab                            Eb
          I looked around I climbed up high into the dawn
                      Bbm                F
          But she was gone with the night
         Ab                              Eb   
          I thought about the things she said

          And all the things we'd done
              Ab              Gm    Ab       Gm
          But where could she run - she ran away
         Ab               Gm        Ab  Bb-B-C
          There's just no answer to give

Verse:
     I keep wondering about her day and night
     She probably thinks I was a fool - she's right
     She don't know it but I'm gonna keep on searching for that woman
     I'm gonna search everywhere
     And if the law don't get her then I will
     Four little diamonds

     Four little diamonds

Chorus:
          I looked around I climbed up high into the dawn
          But she was gone with the night
          I thought about the things she said
          And all the things we'd done
          But where could she run - she ran away
          There's just no answer to give

Verse:
     I still hear her calling out to me
     I still listen for her endlessly
     But it never even crossed my mind she was a cheater
     I gotta find where she hides
     'Cause if the law don't get her then I will
     Four little diamonds

     Four little diamonds
     Four little diamonds
     Four little diamonds
