A#  C#  E  B  F#
A#  C#  E  B  F#  A#

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
    F7
You asked for the latest party
          D#
With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
A#
Dressed like a priest you was, Tod Browningʼs freak you was
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
    F7
Iʼm sure youʼre not protected, for itʼs plain to see
    D#
The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
A#
Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal


Chorus:
          F7
Will they come...Iʼll keep a friend serene
          G#
Will they come...Oh baby, come unto me
          A#
Will they come...Well, sheʼs come, been and gone
D#
Come out of the garden, baby
A#
Youʼll catch your death in the fog
      C          D#                     A#
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
      C          D#                     A#
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs


The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
       F7
And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase
    D#
The elevatorʼs broke, so he slides down a rope
A#
Onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man go
Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach
F7
Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch
D#
Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake
A#
Wrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are sableized

Chorus.

      F7                          A#
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
      F7                          D#
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs


In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch
F7
Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch
D#
Just another future song, lonely little kitsch
        A#
Thereʼs gonna be sorrow try and wake up tomorrow


Chorus.

      F7                          A#
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
      F7                          A#
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
F7                     A#
Call them the Diamond Dogs, Dogs
F7                     A#
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them
F7                     A#
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them, oo
F7                     D#
Call them the Diamond Dogs

A#
Beware of the Diamond Dogs...repeat many times
