| E | |
| Traffics wild tonight |
| A | |
| Diamond smiles her cocktail | smile |
| B | |
| Tonight she's in heavy dis | guise |
| E | |
| She looks at her wrist to clock the | passing time |
| E | |
| Weathers mild tonight |
| A | |
| She wonders will they notice her | eyes |
| B | |
| She wonders will her glamour sur | vive |
| E | |
| And can they see she's going down a | third time |
| E | |
| Oh everybody tries |
| A | |
| It's Dale Carnegie gone | wild |
| B | |
| But Barbara Cartland's | child |
| E | |
| Long ago perfected the | motionless glide |
| E | |
| And in the low voltage noise |
| A | |
| Diamond seems so sure and so | poised |
| B | |
| She shimmers for the bright young | boys |
| E | |
| And says love is for others but for | me it destroys' |
| The girl in the cake |
| Jumped out too soon by mistake |
| Somebody said the whole things half baked |
| And Diamond lifts her glass and says Cheers' |
| She stands to one side |
| There's no more to this than meets the eye |
| Everybody drinks Martini dry |
| And talks about clothes and the latest styles |
| Chorus |
| E | A | |
| Oh, oh they said she | did it with grace |
| B | |
| They said she | did it with style |
| A | |
| They said she | did it all |
| B | |
| They said be | fore she died |
| A | |
| Whoa, | whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, |
| B | E | |
| I remember Diamond's | smile |
| Nobody saw her go |
| They said they should have noticed cause her dress was cut so low |
| Well it only goes to show |
| Ha, ha how many real men any of us know |
| She went up the stairs |
| Stood upon the vanity chair |
| Tied her lame belt around the chandelier |
| And went out kicking at the perfumed air |
| Chorus |
| E | A | |
| Oh, oh they said she | did it with grace |
| B | |
| They said she | did it with style |
| A | |
| They said she | did it all |
| B | |
| They said be | fore she died |
| A | |
| Whoa, | whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, |
| B | E | |
| I remember Diamond's | smile |
| Na, na, na, na, na, na |
| (This is repeated over and over again to a recurring 2 bar pattern of E, A, B and E) |
| This is my first go at this so please forgive any mistakes. I play this using |
| some palm muting. Its a brilliant little tune, from long ago. Enjoy! |
