Here is a version of the song that makes it a little bit easier for those who can't be
with sliding between barred F and G. It also gives good practice moving between the three
chords of E, A and C. Here goes

-INTRO-
She's a rich girl, don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.
He's a poor boy, empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
Sing Ta-na-na, Ta-na-naa-na,
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes (a-wa-a-wa)
Ta-na-naa, Ta-na-naa-na
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes (A-wa-a-wa)
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes (A-wa-a-wa)
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes (A-wa-a-wa)
Diamonds on the soles of her shooooooes...
(Mini guitar solo with chords played behind it) (1) (2) (3) (4)
Use this rythum throughout
-VERSE 1-
People say she's crazy, she's got
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes,
Well that's one way to lose these, walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.
-VERSE 2-
(C) F
She's was physically forgotten then she
Slipped into my pocket with my car keys.
Said you've taken me for granted
Cos I please you wearing these
Diiaaamonds
-CHORUS-
And I could say ooooooooo
As if everybody knows what I'm talking about
As if everybody here would knows exactly what I was
Talking about, talking about
Diamonds of her shoooes.
-VERSE 3-
She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes and puts on aftershave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
(C) F
And she said honey take me dancing but they
Ended up by sleeping in a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of her shoes
-CHORUS -
And I could say ooooooooo
As if everybody knows what I'm talking about
As if everybody here would knows exactly what I was
Talking about, talking about
Diamonds of her shoooes.
-VERSE 4-
People say I'm crazy I've got
Diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Well that's one way to lose those walking blues
With Diamonds on the soles of my shoes
-OUTTRO-
I sing Ta-na-na, Ta-na-ta-na-naa-na-na-naaa
Ta-na-na-na-naa
Ta-na-na, Ta-na-ta-na-naa-na-na-naaa
(C F.......)
Ta-na-na-na-naa
