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, Tod Browning's freak you was 
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee 
    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 
 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  
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 
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 sableized

      E                          A 
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs 
      E                          D 
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs  
INTRO 
 
 
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

      E                          A 
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs 
      E                          A 
Oo oo ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs 
E                     A 
Call them the Diamond Dogs, Dogs 
E                     A 
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them 
E                     A 
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them, oo 
E                     D 
Call them the Diamond Dogs
