EADGBE
(Capo at 2nd fret)
DDiamonds, roses,
I need Moses to cross this Asea of lonliness,
Part Gthis red river of pain.D  
I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness,
But I need Aa little place in the sun sometimeGs or I think I will die.D  
And everAywhere is somewherGe and nowhere is near,D  
Everybody Agot somebody with Gtheir wine and their Dbeer.
So, I'm just Athis tragic figurGe in the corner ovDer here,
With an eAmpty apartment and a best friend who Gis a queer.
DEverytime I see him he smiles and he tells me how well he's walking these miles,
But I he nevAer ever asks a single thing about me,
If I Gdie, he'd hear about it eventually.
DDiamonds, roses,
I need Moses to cross this Asea of lonliness,
Part Gthis red river of pain.D  
And everAywhere is somewherGe and nowhere is near,D  
EverybodAy got somebody with Gtheir wine and their Dbeer.
So, I'm jusAt this tragic figure Gin the corner oveDr here,
Go home to an empty apaArtment and call a best friend who is a Gqueer.
DDiamonds, roses,
I need Moses to cross thiAs sea of lonliness,
PaGrt this red river of painD.

EADGBE

(Capo at 2nd fret)

Diamonds, roses,

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.

Everytime I see him he smiles and he tells me how well he's walking these miles,

But I he never ever asks a single thing about me,

If I die, he'd hear about it eventually.

Diamonds, roses,

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.

Diamonds, roses,

I need Moses to cross this sea of lonliness,

G D

Part this red river of pain.
