[Verse 1]
C
Ohhhhh getaway, and don't come back
C
Who-oo do you think you're foo-ling, with lies like that?
         Am                  G       F
You have dreams that set the rain on fire
Am             G       F
Burning with a cheap desire
         C
And it's plain as grey that what you say
Have meanings of their own
[Chorus]
C        Em      F     Em         Dm       G
My love, my love,  she don't need diamonds
C        Em      F     Em         Dm       G
My love, my love,  she don't need diamonds - don't need diamonds

C                     Em
My love's more than a sweet dream
F       Em         Dm        G
And she don't need diamonds
C                         Em
She shakes her hip to the tambourine
F       Em         Dm        G
And she don't need diamonds
Am           G           F       F G
If you can't love me for nothing
Am              G          F
 They you can't love me at all
         C
And it's plain as grey that what you say
Have meanings of their own
       C
We all got to dance, take a chance?
But babe you should have stayed at home
[Chorus]
C        Em      F     Em         Dm       G
My love, my love,  she don't need diamonds
C        Em            F    Em         Dm       G
My love, my love o-ohh, she don't need diamonds - don't need diamonds
