[EADGBE](Capo at 2nd fret)

[D]Diamonds, roses,
I need Moses to cross this[A] sea of lonliness,
Part[G] this red river of pain.[D]

I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness,
But I need [A]a little place in the sun sometime[G]s or I think I will die.[D]

And ever[A]ywhere is somewher[G]e and nowhere is near,[D]
Everybody [A]got somebody with[G] their wine and their [D]beer.
So, I'm just[A] this tragic figur[G]e in the corner ov[D]er here,
With an e[A]mpty apartment and a best friend who [G]is a queer.

[D]Everytime I see him he smiles and he tells me how well he's walking these miles,
But I he nev[A]er ever asks a single thing about me,
If I [G]die, he'd hear about it eventually.

[D]Diamonds, roses,
I need Moses to cross this[A] sea of lonliness,
Part[G] this red river of pain.[D]
And ever[A]ywhere is somewher[G]e and nowhere is near,[D]
Everybod[A]y got somebody with [G]their wine and their [D]beer.
So, I'm jus[A]t this tragic figure[G] in the corner ove[D]r here,
Go home to an empty apa[A]rtment and call a best friend who is a [G]queer.

[D]Diamonds, roses,
I need Moses to cross thi[A]s sea of lonliness,
Pa[G]rt this red river of pain[D].
