Diamonds by Passenger, from his album "Flight of the Crow" from 2010.
He plays it with the capo on 7th fret - at least on the version I listened to:
The spotify-version featuring Simon R. Beckleman.
The other tab here is fine, but had the missing Am/Em as flaws, so I decided to work that out
and also add a short section of the guitar in the intro
The little guitar riff intro-thing he does will be included at the bottom, for those who fancy that.
For the rhythm I suggest you listen to the song and sort out what works for you :)
Intro:
F G C Am F G C
Well I spoke to this Fman
G Said he’d been to theC moon
Am Carved his name in the gFround
Saw the world spinning rGound
(and) came back that afterCnoon.
And I laughed at this Fman
G Said he’d been lost atC sea
Am Heard the sirens' cFall
Seen the pirates fGall
To the monsters in the dCeep
I said I’d heard some tallF tales
G Some good stories in my tAmime
Em So I asked him for prFoof
And he showed me the trGuth
There was dancing in his Ceyes.
1st horn interlude: F G C Am F G C
(you can play the guitar "riff" here, if you fancy)
I could not believe thiFs man
G Said he was a millionaire C
Am He said: "I know I dressF in rags
But I drive a vintage 'JGag'
And I’ve got a diamond chandCelier".
I said I think I need a drFink
G And made my way outsidAme
Em You know I’d swear this was a Fspoof
If it wasn’t for theG truth
There was dancing in his Ceyes.
2nd horn interlude/solo: F G C Am F G C X2
(He isn't actually strumming anything here in the last part, maybe just one strum for each chord will do)
When I came back in the rFoom
G The man had disappCeared
Am He left a rock from the mFoon
An eyepatch and a dGiamond
From a chandelCier.

The guitar figure during intro
It's up to you whether you play the stuff in ( ). It's nice as fillings if you play alone.
Relative to capo:

If you aren't playing with a capo, simply add 7 to the number of the frets listed above,
as such your 1st fret relative to capo would be your 8th fret instead, your open string in capo = 7th fret.
You get the idea :)
Hope you found this useful!
