[Verse 1]
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
            | 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 she ran away
Ab               Gm       | Ab    Bb G/B | 
 There's just no answer to gi-i-i-ive

[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
            | C | C    C/G C/Bb |
Four little diamonds

[Outro] + coda
            Bb                     F

Four little diamonds

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