Diamond Rings 2007
guitar chords lyrics
Capo 4
For the strumming use a simple base-strum down-up style. Listen to the song for what
best.
To get it to sound more like the song, I do a hammer-on for the next note after the base
So for G chord I hammer on 2nd fret on A string with 1st finger. For Dsus4/F# hammer on
fret on G string with 2nd finger, etc. So you hammer on right after plucking the base
and before the strum. Don't do this for D and Em, just strum regularly.

Wish you�d think of me
The way I think of you
Well I find it hard to breathe
Cause now I know the truth
So what good would fingers be
If it weren�t for diamond rings?
Now I know you�re leaving me
And I know that I�m no king
Chorus: (same)
And you said you wanted a better life
And you will tell me oh what you find
And then I stay the whole night through
And I turn from sad to blue
Yeah I�m choking after you
Miss, I�m choking now, do you?
Go ahead now, tell them all about it
(Solo plays here, strum chorus in the background)

So what good would fingers be
If it weren�t for diamond rings?
