*Let me just say that this isn't going to be 100% accurate - I came as close as I could with the correct
chord shapes and picking pattern until I was satisfied with the result. These will not be the correct chord
names on some occasions. If you have any changes that you'd suggest others play leave them in the comments.
Taylor Goldsmith is leaving behind a legacy of beautifully crafted guitar pieces that I'm honored to even
listen too let alone play. This is another such piece...

Open with E bass notes
(Verse:)
EIf I ever get back to E2St. Louis again
There's gonna E3be some Bm7changes Amade
I'm gonna C#mfind old Alice and right whereG#m I left off
It's gonna Abe just as Bif I Estayed
EThat old organ grinder's gonna E2wind his box
And the E3knife sharpener's Bm7gonna Asing
When C#mI get back to St. LouG#mis again
I'm gonna Abuy that Bdiamond Ering
(Chorus:)
Diamond Aring
Diamond E1ring
Shine like G#gold
BeC#mhold that AdiamondD ring
If I ever get back to St. Louis again
Everybody's gonna smile
One of the Mack girls dragged me up to Washington
I got stuck there for a while
She gave me more misery than a man can hold
And I took her bad advice
Now I don't aim to bother anyone
I have paid that awful price
Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Shine like gold
Behold that diamond ring
If ever I get back to St. Louis again
That diamond ring is gonna shine
That old burlesque dancer is gonna bum around
And everything's gonna be fine
I'm gonna settle up my accounts with lead
And leave the rest up to the law
Then I'm gonna marry the one I love
And head out for Wichita
Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Shine like gold
Behold that diamond ring
(End on D strummed ^)
