C                                        C/G C/Bb
 I used to think she was the greatest thing

C                                      C/G  [F#]
 I really cared gave her a diamond ring

F                                    C
 She said she'd rather die than ever leave me

        G
Well, I never saw her face since then

           Bb                     F
And if the law don't get her then I will

            | C | C  C/G C/Bb |
Four little diamonds
[Verse 2]
C                                  C/G C/Bb
 She must be somewhere on the open road

C                                   C/G  [F#]
 She always said she was the lonely one

F                                               C
 She gets you down with her tales of wo-o-o-o-o-o-oe

    G
She took me for everything

           Bb                     F
And if the law don't get her then I will

            | C | C |
Four little diamonds
[Interlude]
Bb   F               C
Ooh, ooh Four little diamonds
[Middle 8]
Ab                            Ebm
 I looked around I climbed up high into the dawn

            Bbm                  Fm
But she was gone with the night

Ab                              Ebm
 I thought about the things she said and all the things we'd done

    Ab              Gm   | Ab Gm |
But where could she run 

Ab               Gm        Ab    | Bb G/B | C | C  C/G C/Bb |
 There's just no answer to gi-i-i-ive
[Verse 3]
C                                       C/G C/Bb
 I keep wondering about her day and night

C                                         C/G  [F#]
 She probably thinks I was a fool - she's right

F                                                           C7
 She don't know it but I'm gonna keep on searching for that woman

    G
I'm gonna search everywhere

           Bb                     F
And if the law don't get her then I will

 I thought about the things she said and all the things we'd done

    Ab       Gm   | Ab Gm |
But she ran away

Ab               Gm       | Ab    Bb G/B | 
 There's just no answer to gi-i-i-ive
[Interlude] | C | C C/G C/Bb | | C | C C/G C/Bb | [Verse 4]
C                                  C/G C/Bb
 I still hear her calling out to me

C                              C/G  [F#]
 I still listen for her endlessly

       F                                    C
But it never even crossed my mind she was a cheater

  G
I gotta find where she hides

              Bb                     F
'Cause if the law don't get her then I will
