G Oh what the hell she says A Cm I just can't win for losing G And she lays back down G Man there's so many times A Cm I don't know what i'm doing G Like I don't know now G By the light of the moon A She rubs her eyes Says it's funny how the night Cm Can make you blind G I can just imagine G And i don't know what i'm supposed to do A Cm But if she feels bad then i do too G So i let her be G And she says Ooh D I can't take no more Am Her tears like diamonds on the floor C And her diamonds bring me down G Cuz i can't help her now D She's down in it Am She tried her best and now she can't win it's C Hard to see them on the ground G Her diamonds falling down A Cm G G A Cm She sits down and stares into the distance G And it takes all night G A Cm And i know i could break her concentration G But it don't feel right G By the light of the moon A She rubs her eyes Cm Sits down on the bed and starts to cry G And there's something less about her G And i don't know what i'm supposed to do A Cm So i sit down and i cry too G And don't let her see G And she says Ooh D I can't take no more Am Her tears like diamonds on the floor C And her diamonds bring me down G Cuz i can't help her now D She's down in it Am She tried her best and now she can't win it's C Hard to see them on the ground G Her diamonds falling down Cm G She shuts out the night Cm G Tries to close her eyes Em If she can find daylight Am She'll be all right Cm She'll be all right G Just not tonight G And she says Ooh D I can't take no more Am Her tears like diamonds on the floor C And her diamonds bring me down G Cuz i can't help her now D She's down in it Am She tried her best and now she can't win it's C Hard to see them on the ground G Her diamonds falling down
I think the intro/interludes work fine like this:
G:————–7–5—————7–5————–7–5——–7–5-
C:-5—–5————3—–3———–3—–3————2—2——
E:———————————————————————-
A:———————————————————————-
Play that twice except don’t play the last 3 notes the second time through
I usually use DDUUDU for this song (and many others) as it works quite well but try and play around with strumming patterns while listening to the original, you could find something better 🙂
At “All those signs I knew what they meant something you can’t invent Some get made, some get sent ooh” All the D’s should be E’s
It’s kind of a tricky chord but I think Ddim instead of D sounds better in the interlude.
Is there a strumming pattern to this song or do you just play single cords?
