Chords

This ain't rock 'n' roll...this is genocide [Intro] A C Eb Bb F A C Eb Bb F A A [Verse 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
Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal
[Chorus 1]
          E
Will they come...I'll keep a friend serene

          G
Will they come...Oh baby, come unto me

          A
Will they come...Well, she's come, been and gone

D
Come out of the garden, baby

A
You'll catch your death in the fog

      B          D                     A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

      B          D                     A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
[Verse 2] The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
       E
And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase

    D
The elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope

A
Onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man go

A
Meet 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 paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are stabilised
[Chorus 2]
          E
Will they come...I'll keep a friend serene

          G
Will they come...Oh baby, come unto me

          A
Will they come...Well, she's come, been and gone

D
Come out of the garden, baby

A
You'll catch your death in the fog

      B          D                     A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

      B          D                     A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

      E                          A
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs

      E                          D
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
[Instrumental] A C Eb Bb F A C Eb Bb F A A [Verse 3]
A
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
[Chorus 3]
          E
Will they come...I'll keep a friend serene

          G
Will they come...Oh baby, come unto me

          A
Will they come...Well, she's come, been and gone

D
Come out of the garden, baby

A
You'll catch your death in the fog

      B          D                     A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

      B          D                     A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

      E                          A
