G#  B  D  A  E
G#  B  D  A  E  G#

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
    D#7
You asked for the latest party
          C#
With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
G#
Dressed like a priest you was, Tod Browningʼs freak you was
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
    D#7
Iʼm sure youʼre not protected, for itʼs plain to see
    C#
The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
G#
Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal


Chorus:
          D#7
Will they come...Iʼll keep a friend serene
          F#
Will they come...Oh baby, come unto me
          G#
Will they come...Well, sheʼs come, been and gone
C#
Come out of the garden, baby
G#
Youʼll catch your death in the fog
      A#          C#                     G#
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
      A#          C#                     G#
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs


The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
       D#7
And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase
    C#
The elevatorʼs broke, so he slides down a rope
G#
Onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man go
Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach
D#7
Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch
C#
Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake
G#
Wrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are sableized

Chorus.

      D#7                          G#
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
      D#7                          C#
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs


In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch
D#7
Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch
C#
Just another future song, lonely little kitsch
        G#
Thereʼs gonna be sorrow try and wake up tomorrow


Chorus.

      D#7                          G#
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
      D#7                          G#
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
D#7                     G#
Call them the Diamond Dogs, Dogs
D#7                     G#
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them
D#7                     G#
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them, oo
D#7                     C#
Call them the Diamond Dogs

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