Damned if I know why there`s a Gary Lewis and the Playboys song at Andrew`s
Ace Archives, even if they were the first `name` band I ever heard live...

Verse 1:

Bm D/B E/B Bm
Who wants to buy this diamond ring?
Bm D/B E/B C
She took it off her finger now, it doesn`t mean a thing

Chorus 1:

F Am/E Dm C
This diamond ring doesn`t shine for me anymore
F Am/E Dm C
And this diamond ring doesn`t mean what it did before
Dm Am Dm Am Gm
So if you`ve got someone who`s love is true
C F F
Let it shine for you

Verse 2:

This stone is genuine, like love should be
And if your baby`s truer than my baby was to me

Chorus 2:

This diamond ring can be something beautiful
And this diamond ring can be dreams that are coming true
And then your heart won`t have to break like mine did
If there`s love behind it

[Organ/guitar break over verse chords]

[repeat chorus 2]

Coda [repeat to fade]:

F Am/E Dm C
This diamond ring doesn`t shine for me anymore
F Am/E Dm C
And this diamond ring doesn`t mean what it did before
