1. 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,
Todd Browning’s freak you was.
A
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knees,
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
hurt
you to the ground they will, mannequins will kill appeal.
E
(Come one!) I’ll keep you a friend serene,
G
(Come on!)
oh, baby, come onto me,
A
(Come on!) well she’s come, been and gone.
D
Come
out of the garden, baby,
A
you’ll catch your death in the fog.

2. Now, Halloween Jack is a real cool cat,
E
and
he lives on the top of Manhattan Chase,
D
the elevator’s broke, so he slides down a
rope,
A /
on
the streets below. Oh, Tarzie go,
man, go.
A
Meets 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 paralysed, Diamond Dogs are sableized.
+ CHORUS
E D A
Hu hu hu, call them the Diamond Dogs.
E D
Hu hu hu, call them the Diamond Dogs.

3. 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.
+ CHORUS
E D A
Hu hu hu, call them the Diamond Dogs. (5x)
E D
Hu hu hu, call them the Diamond Dogs.
