Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

Written by Leo Robin and Jule Styne

	  		
     C          Fm Fdim C 
The French are glad to die for love  
      C          Fm    Fdim  C 
They delight in fight - ing duels  
   Bm5-/7   E7    Am       Am7+ 
But  I  prefer a man who lives  
A7   D      D7      G9     G 
And gives expensive jewels  
  C    G       C   Cdim    C    Em7     Cdim C 
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental  
     C       Em7   Am7    Cdim   G7 
But diamonds are a girl's best friend  
   Dm  A7      Dm    A7     Dm7  Cdim     G7 
A kiss may be grand, but it won't pay the rental  
Cdim    Dm7         G7    Dm7     G7     C 
On your humble flat,  or help you at the automat  
C    C/B  Am  C7  F      C   F 
Men grow cold as girls grow old  
G     C   C/B       Am7  Cdim     G 
And we all lose our charms in the end 
     C      G     Am    Em 
But square-cut or pear shaped 
        C    G         Bm5-/7  A7 
These rocks don't lose their shape  
F      Fdim   G/B    G7     C 
Diamonds are a girl's best friend 
       C    G     C   Cdim    C    Em7    Cdim     C 
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer  
     C       Em7   Am7    Cdim   G7 
But diamonds are a girl's best friend 
      Dm  A7      Dm   A7     Dm7 Cdim     G7 
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer  
Cdim          Dm7        G7   Dm7      G7      C 
Thinks you're awful nice  but get that ice or else, no dice 
C    C/B  Am  C7   F      C   F 
He's your guy when stocks are high 
G      C   C/B       Am7  Cdim    G 
But beware when they start to descend 
     C      G        Am     Em   C  G        Bm5-/7  A7 
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses 
F      Fdim   G/B    G7     C 
Diamonds are a girl's best friend 
      C    G      C   Cdim      C   Em7    Cdim  C 
I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic  
     C       Em7   Am7    Cdim   G7 
But diamonds are a girl's best friend 
   Dm  A7      Dm   A7       Dm7          Cdim     G7 
And I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic  
    Cdim    Dm7   G7    Dm7     G7      C 
Are better bets     if little pets get big baguettes 

C    C/B   Am  C7   F   C   F 
Time rolls on and youth is gone 
G        C    C/B       Am7 Cdim      G 
And you can't straighten up when you bend  
     C      G       Am    Em        C      G             Bm5-/7    A7 
But stiff back or stiff knees, you stand straight at    Tiff'ny's  
F            Fm7          C  E7        Bm5-/7    A 
Diamonds     diamonds     I don't mean rhinestones  
A9  F       F#7  G       Fdim    G   C  F Fm7  C  G     C  
But diamonds       are a girl's best             best friend
