Diamond Smiles The Boomtown Rats
Intro 2 bars of E
[E]Traffics wild tonight
Diamond smiles her cocktail smile[A]
Tonight sheâ??s in heavy disguise[B]
She looks at her wrist to clock the passing time[E]
[E]Weathers mild tonight
She wonders will they notice her eyes[A]
She wonders will her glamour survive[B]
And can they see sheâ??s going down a third time[E]
[E]Oh everybody tries
Itâ??s Dale Carnegie gone wild[A]
But Barbara Cartlandâ??s child [B]
Long ago perfected the motionless [E]glide
[E]And in the low voltage noise
Diamond seems so sure and so poised[A]
She shimmers for the bright young boys[B]
And says â??love is for others but for me it destro[E]ysâ??
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 â??Cheersâ??
She stands to one side
Thereâ??s no more to this than meets the eye
Everybody drinks Martini dry
And talks about clothes and the latest styles
Chorus
[E]Oh, oh they said she did it wi[A]th grace
They said she did it [B]with style
They said she did it [A]all
They said befor[B]e she died
Whoa, whoa[A], whoa, whoa, whoa,
[B]I remember Diamondâ??s smile[E]
Nobody saw her go
They said they should have noticed â??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]Oh, oh they said she did it wi[A]th grace
They said she did it [B]with style
They said she did it [A]all
They said befor[B]e she died
Whoa, whoa[A], whoa, whoa, whoa,
[B]I remember Diamondâ??s smile[E]
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)
