Diamond Smiles by The Boomtown Rats
Intro 2 bars of E
ETraffics wild tonight
Diamond smiles her cocktail Asmile
Tonight she's in heavy disBguise
She looks at her wrist to clock the Epassing time
EWeathers mild tonight
She wonders will they notice her Aeyes
She wonders will her glamour surBvive
And can they see she's going down a Ethird time
EOh everybody tries
It's Dale Carnegie gone Awild
But Barbara Cartland's Bchild
Long ago perfected the Emotionless glide
EAnd in the low voltage noise
Diamond seems so sure and so Apoised
She shimmers for the bright young Bboys
And says 'love is for others but for Eme it destroys'
The girl in the cake
Jumped out too soon by mistake
Somebody said the whole things half baked
And Diamond lifts her glass and says 'Cheers'
She stands to one side
There's no more to this than meets the eye
Everybody drinks Martini dry
And talks about clothes and the latest styles
Chorus
EOh, oh they said she Adid it with grace
They said she Bdid it with style
They said she Adid it all
They said beBfore she died
Whoa, Awhoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
BI remember Diamond's Esmile
Nobody saw her go
They said they should have noticed 'cause her dress was cut so low
Well it only goes to show
Ha, ha how many real men any of us know
She went up the stairs
Stood upon the vanity chair
Tied her lame belt around the chandelier
And went out kicking at the perfumed air
Chorus
EOh, oh they said she Adid it with grace
They said she Bdid it with style
They said she Adid it all
They said beBfore she died
Whoa, Awhoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
BI remember Diamond's Esmile
Na, na, na, na, na, na
(This is repeated over and over again to a recurring 2 bar pattern of E, A, B and E)
This is my first go at this so please forgive any mistakes. I play this using
some palm muting. Its a brilliant little tune, from long ago. Enjoy!
