Who wants to buy this diamond ring?
    Bm                          D                 E C
She took it off her finger now, it doesn't mean a thing.
F                         Dm
This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore
    F                         Dm
And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it did before.
   Bb        Am      Bb        Am      Gm
So if you've got someone who's love is true,

let it shine for you.

This stone is genuine, like love should be.
    Bm                        D              E C
And if your baby's truer than my baby was to me.
F                     Dm
This diamond ring can be something beautiful
    F                   Dm
and this diamond can be dreams that are coming true
    Bb        Am          Bb      Am         Gm
and then your heart won't have to break like mine did
C               F          F#
If there's love behind it.
