Fairport Convention - Diamonds And Gold Chords

[Intro]
Am  G  F  C  F  C  Dm7  G  C  G  G/B

[Verse]
C         F       C           F
Beautiful dreamer lays in her bed
C         F                       C
Wonderful visions go round in her head
               F            C          F
Her father has told her the stories of old
   C           F                       C
Of princes and ladies and diamonds and gold

[Chorus]
Am          G           F              C
Lets take a photograph, pictures don't lie
    F            C           Dm          G   G/B  G  G/B
Her long hair so golden, the blue of her eye

[Verse]
    C              F          C           F
She taunts and she teases the boys in her school
     C          F                          C
They don't understand, they don't know her rules
               F          C        F
Soon she'll be leaving to get on a train
     C          F                       C
With mirror and makeup, for fortune and fame

[Chorus]
Am          G           F              C
Lets take a photograph, pictures don't lie
F             C             Dm           G   G/B  G  G/B
Clutching her suitcase, she waves us goodbye

[Instrumental]
C  F  C  F  C  F    C
C  F  C  F  C  F    C  F    C

[Bridge]
   F                                            G
He comes from the shadows, with a gleam in his eye
      Am                    C
And a golden medallion your money can't buy
   F                                     G
He takes her to Soho and he takes her up West
   Dm7            C             F               G
He fills her with lines, he's rehearsed all the best

[Verse]
    C             F            C             F
Now I'll give you diamonds and I'll give you gold
C               F                       C
You'll live the stories your father has told
                    F                 C             F
So he gives her the diamonds that she sniffs from a spoon
       C             Dm       Eb            F
And he leaves her on satin in some darkened room

[Chorus]
       Am            G            F              C
So the boys can take photographs, pictures don't lie
F            C           Dm         G   G/B  G  G/B
You'll never leave here, don't even try

[Verse]
       C            F         C           F
So she looks at the river, so deep and so cold
C             F                      C
Just one more victim of diamonds and gold
              F                      C
Just one more victim of diamonds and gold
              F                      C
Just one more victim of diamonds and gold

[Outro]
C  F  C  F  C  F    C  x2

              F                      C
Just one more victim of diamonds and gold
