As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
    E7
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
    E7
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:
          E7
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
      B          D                     A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
      B          D                     A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs


The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
       E7
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
E7
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.

      E7                          A
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
      E7                          D
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs


In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch
E7
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.

      E7                          A
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
      E7                          A
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
E7                     A
Call them the Diamond Dogs, Dogs
E7                     A
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them
E7                     A
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them, oo
E7                     D
Call them the Diamond Dogs

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