[Verse 1]
   Am              Asus2    Am   Asus2
Diamonds are for - ever,
         Dm7            Dm6        Dm7  Dm6
They are all I need to please me,
          G7sus4         G7       G7sus4  G7
They can stimulate and tease me,
            Dm7         Dm7/C
They won't leave in the night,
       Bbmaj7                        Bbmaj7   Bbmaj7  G
I've no fear that they might ...de - sert me!

Diamonds are for - ever,
         Dm7               Dm6        Dm7  Dm6
Hold one up, and then ca - ress it,
          G7sus4                G7      G7sus4  G7
Touch it, stroke it, and un - dress it,
      Dm7       Dm7/C
I can see every part,
       Bbmaj7                   Bbmaj7    Bbmaj7   G
Nothing hides in the heart to ...hurt me!

[Verse 3]
             Em7                           Am7
I don't need love, for what good will love do me?
Dm7                   Bbmaj7
    Diamonds never lie to me,
                 E7                  G#dim
For when love's gone, they'll luster on---------!

   Am                            Dm7
Diamonds are forever, sparkling round my little finger,
       G7
Unlike men, the diamonds linger,
        Dm7
Men are mere mortals,
Dm7/C       Bbmaj7                   Bbmaj7    Bbmaj7  G
 Who are not worth go -ing to ...your grave for!

      Diamonds never lie to me,

For when love's gone, they'll luster on---------!
