1. As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent,
E
you asked
for the latest party,
D
with
your silicone hump and your ten inch stump,
A
/
dressed
like a priest you was, Todd Browning’s freak you was.
A
Crawling down the alley on
your hands and knees,
E
I’m sure you’re not protected,
for it’s plain to see,
D
the
Diamond Dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees,
A
hurt
you to the ground they will, mannequins will kill appeal.
(Come one!) I’ll keep you a friend serene,
G
(Come on!) oh,
baby, come onto me,
A
(Come on!) well she’s come, been and gone.
Come out of the garden, baby,
A
you’ll
catch your death in the fog.
B7 D A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs.
B7 D A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs.
2. Now, Halloween Jack is a real cool cat,
E
and
he lives on the top of Manhattan Chase,
D
the
elevator’s broke, so he slides down a rope,
A /
on
the streets below. Oh, Tarzie go, man, go.
A
Meets his little hussy with
his ghost town approach,
E
her
face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch.
D
Sweetly reminiscent, something
mother used to bake,
A
wrecked
up and paralysed, Diamond Dogs are sableized.
Hu hu hu, call them the Diamond Dogs.
E
D
Hu hu hu, call them the Diamond Dogs.
Oh !
A
3. In the year of the scavenger, the season of
the bitch,
E
sashay
on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch.
D
Just another future song,
lonely little kitsch,
A
there’s
gonna be sorrow, try and wake up tomorrow.
Hu hu hu, call them the Diamond Dogs. (5x)
E
D
Hu hu hu, call them the Diamond Dogs.
Oh !
