INTRO: C   D   G - Bm - Em - D - C   D   G

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


CHORUS:
C           D       G 
Put on your diamond shoes
C           D       Em      C
Put on your diamond shoes
                        Bm A7   
The ones you talk about      
                  D7    Bm
That shine like brand new
    C           D           G     
The ones you've no place to wear
C    D            Em
Sure you'll never use
    C          D            G  Bm  Em
The ones you look so pretty in
   C           D       G
Go put on your diamond shoes


      C                D     G
There is no rain comes down
                        C      Am
You don't carry in your hand
                     Bm           C       G
For whoever gets the wrong things right
                  D
Since no one understands
      C     D        Em     C
There is no flower I know   
  Bm              C
Deserving of your hair
              G             Bm    C      Am
But damned if he don't come every night
                   D
To try and pin one there


CHORUS
C           D       G 
Put on your diamond shoes
C           D       Em      C
Put on your diamond shoes
                        Bm A7   
The ones you talk about      
                          D7   Bm
The ones you're scared to use
    C             D        G 
You don't have to doubt no more
        C      D          Em
They'll always shine like new
C           D        G    Bm  Em 
You'll look so pretty walking in 
     C  D    G        Bm
Your diamond shoes


BRIDGE:
          Am               G       Am
Where the road was wet and rough
                          C     Bm
you kicked and swore them off
         Am        Em     A7 
Now it's getting on time    
                            D7
They were back swinging at your side


CHORUS
C           D       G 
Put on your diamond shoes
C           D       Em     
Put on your diamond shoes
C           D         G  Bm  Em 
You'll look so pretty walking in 
     C  D    G
Your diamond shoes
