Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]This ain't rock'n'roll,
[Caug]this is genocide[C]
[A][C][Eb][Bb][F]
[A][C][Eb][Bb][F]
[A][A]

[Verse 1]
As they [A]pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You [E]asked for the latest party
With your [D]silicone hump
and your ten inch stump
[A]Dressed like a priest you was

[Verse 2]
Todd Browning's freak you was
[A]Crawling down the alley
on your hands and knee
I'm [E]sure you're not protected,
for it's plain to see
The [D]diamond dogs are poachers
and they hide behind trees
[A]Hunt you to the ground they will,
mannequins with kill appeal

[Pre-chorus 1]
(Will they [E]come?)
I'll keep a friend serene
(Will they [G]come?)
Oh baby, come unto me
(Will they [A]come?)

[Chorus 1]
Well, she's come, been and gone
[D]Come out of the garden, baby
[A]You'll catch your death in the fog
Young [B]girl,
[D]they call them the Diamond [A]Dogs
Young [B]girl,
[D]they call them the Diamond [A]Dogs

[Verse 3]
The [A]Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
And he [E]lives on top of Manhattan Chase
The [D]elevator's broke,
so he slides down a rope
[A]Onto the street below,

[Verse 4]
oh Tarzie, go man go
[A]Meet his little hussy
with his ghost town approach
Her [E]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 stabilized

[Pre-chorus 2]
(Will they [E]come?)
I'll keep a friend serene
(Will they [G]come?)
Oh baby, come unto me
(Will they [A]come?)

[Chorus 2]
Well, she's come, been and gone
[D]Come out of the garden, baby
[A]You'll catch your death in the fog
Young [B]girl,
[D]they call them the Diamond [A]Dogs
Young [B]girl,
[D]they call them the Diamond [A]Dogs

[Bridge 1]
[E]Oo-oo-ooh,
call them the Diamond [A]Dogs
[E]Oo-oo-ooh,
call them the Diamond [D]Dogs

[Interlude 1]
[A][C][Eb][Bb][F]
[A][C][Eb][Bb][F]
[A][A]

[Verse 5]
In the [A]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
(There's [A]gonna be sorrow)
try and wake up tomorrow

[Pre-chorus 3]
(Will they [E]come?)
I'll keep a friend serene
(Will they [G]come?)
Oh baby, come unto me
(Will they [A]come?)

[Chorus 3]
Well, she's come, been and gone
[D]Come out of the garden, baby
[A]You'll catch your death in the fog
Young [B]girl,
[D]they call them the Diamond [A]Dogs
Young [B]girl,
[D]they call them the Diamond [A]Dogs

[Bridge 2]
[E]Oo-oo-ooh,
call them the Diamond [A]Dogs
[E]Oo-oo-ooh,
call them the Diamond [A]Dogs
[E]
Call them the Diamond [A]Dogs
[E]
Call them the Diamond [A]Dogs
[E]
Call them the Diamond [A]Dogs
[E]
Call them the Diamond [D]Dogs
