[intro]

C         C             D      D   G         G               C     C
Don't you know that the angels,      in some wild and secret heart
Am          Am                Bm      C     G                G          D      D
  Doubt for those who get the wrong things,   and those who want to get caught
    C             D        Em    Em     C             Bm       C      Csus9
You don't have to doubt no more,    you don't have to count on crying
   C       G     Bm         C     Am    Am             D          D
No one can win a heart like yours,  but damned if he ain't trying

C           D       G     G    C           D       Em    Em
Put on your diamond shoes,     put on your diamond shoes
C     C              C   C - G/B   A7     A7           D  - D/C  D/B - D/A
  The ones you talk about,           that shine like brand new
    C           D        G        G   C   D            Em  Em
The ones you've no place to wear,    sure you'll never use
    C            D          G - G/F#  Em - Em/D  C            D       G     G
The ones you look so pretty in;                go put on your diamond shoes

There is no rain comes down, you don't carry in your hand
For whoever gets the wrong things right, since no one understands
There is no flower I know, deserving of your hair
But damned if he don't come every night, to try and pin one there

Put on your diamond shoes, put on your diamond shoes
The ones you talk about, the ones you're scared to use
You don't have to doubt no more, they'll always shine like new
You'll look so pretty walking in your diamond shoes

Bm               Am          G     G  Am    Am                     C  Csus9
  Where the road was wet and rough,     you kicked and swore them off
Bm        Am         Em    Em   A7              A7            D  -  D/C  D/B - D/A
  Now it's getting on time,       they were back swinging at your side

C           D       G     G    C           D       Em    Em
Put on your diamond shoes,     put on your diamond shoes
C           D        G - G/F#  Em     C    D     G     G
You'll look so pretty walking in your di - amond shoes

C   D   G-G/F#  Em-Em/D     C   D   G   G
