[EbAbDbF#BbEb](Capo at 2nd fret)
[Db]Diamonds, roses,
I need Moses to cross this[Ab] sea of lonliness,
Part[F#] this red river of pain.[Db]
I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness,
But I need [Ab]a little place in the sun sometime[F#]s or I think I will die.[Db]
And ever[Ab]ywhere is somewher[F#]e and nowhere is near,[Db]
Everybody [Ab]got somebody with[F#] their wine and their [Db]beer.
So, I'm just[Ab] this tragic figur[F#]e in the corner ov[Db]er here,
With an e[Ab]mpty apartment and a best friend who [F#]is a queer.
[Db]Everytime I see him he smiles and he tells me how well he's walking these miles,
But I he nev[Ab]er ever asks a single thing about me,
If I [F#]die, he'd hear about it eventually.
[Db]Diamonds, roses,
I need Moses to cross this[Ab] sea of lonliness,
Part[F#] this red river of pain.[Db]
And ever[Ab]ywhere is somewher[F#]e and nowhere is near,[Db]
Everybod[Ab]y got somebody with [F#]their wine and their [Db]beer.
So, I'm jus[Ab]t this tragic figure[F#] in the corner ove[Db]r here,
Go home to an empty apa[Ab]rtment and call a best friend who is a [F#]queer.
[Db]Diamonds, roses,
I need Moses to cross thi[Ab]s sea of lonliness,
Pa[F#]rt this red river of pain[Db].
