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-
()
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
()
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
( .......)
Ta-na-na-na-naa
