I did see diamond on the soles of her shoes on the web but wrong chords!
I got mine from the songbook years ago when I was sat in the library at
Manchester when i should have been working.
The 5th fret thing is my touch cause I saw Paul playing this song live
in a documentary with capo on.
PAUL SIMON
DIAMONDS ON THE SOLES OF HER SHOES
(graceland)
CAPO 5th fret
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.
She's was physically forgotten then she
slipped into my pocket with my car keys.
she said you've taken me for granted
because I please you wearing these
diamonds
chorus:
And I could say ooooo as if everybody
knows what I'm talking about as if
everybody here would knows excally what I
was talking about, Talking about diamonds
of her shoes.
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
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
Repeat chorus 1 verse
