(Capo at 2nd fret)

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

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

A G D
And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near,
A G D
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer.
A G D
So, I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here,
A G
With an empty apartment and a best friend who is a queer.



D
Everytime I see him he smiles and he tells me how well he's walking these miles,
A
But I he never ever asks a single thing about me,
G
If I die, he'd hear about it eventually.

D
Diamonds, roses,
A
I need Moses to cross this sea of lonliness,
G D
Part this red river of pain.
A G D
And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near,
A G D
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer.
A G D
So, I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here,
A G
Go home to an empty apartment and call a best friend who is a queer.

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