INTRO  D   E7   A  C#m  F#m  E7  D   E7   A


D                       E7     
Don't you know that the angels   
A                       D
In some wild and secret heart
Bm                          C#m    D     
Doubt for those who get the wrong things   
A                         E7
And those who want to get caught
    D             E7       F#m
You don't have to doubt no more.
    D             C#m      D
You don't have to count on cryin'
   D       A     C#m        D    
No one can win a heart like yours,
Bm                     E7
But damned if he ain't tryin'



D           E7      A       D           E7      F#m
Put on your diamond shoes.  Put on your diamond shoes.
D                       C#m B7                       E7
The ones you talk about        that shine like brand new
    D           E7          A     D    E7           F#m
The ones you've no place to wear, sure you'll never use
    D             E7         A  C#m  F#m
The ones you look so pretty in
   D           E7      A
Go put on your diamond shoes


      D                E7   
There is no rain comes down
A                       D
You don't carry in your hand
Bm                   C#m          D     
For whoever gets the wrong things right
A                 E7
Since no one understands
      D              F#m  D   C#m             D
There is no flower I know   deserving of your hair
              A             C#m   D    
But damned if he don't come every night
Bm                 E7
To try and pin one there



D           E7      A       D           E7      F#m
Put on your diamond shoes.  Put on your diamond shoes
D                      C#m B7
The ones you talk about      
                          E7
The ones you're scared to use
    D             E7       A 
You don't have to doubt no more,
        D      E7         F#m
They'll always shine like new
D           E7        A  C#m  F#m     D  E7   A
You'll look so pretty walkin' in your diamond shoes



C#m       Bm               A   
Where the road was wet and rough,
Bm                        D
you kicked and swore them off
C#m      Bm         F#m  B7 
Now it's gettin' on time    
                           E7
They were back swingin' at your side



D           E7      A       D           E7      F#m
Put on your diamond shoes.  Put on your diamond shoes
D           E7        A  C#m  F#m      D  E7   A
You'll look so pretty walkin'  in your diamond shoes


D   E7   A C#m F#m E7 D   E7   A
