Diamond Ring Teclado

	  


*Let me just say that this isn't going to be 00% accurate - I came as close as I could with the correct  
chord shapes and picking pattern until I was satisfied with the result. These will not be the correct chord 
names on some occasions. If you have any changes that you'd suggest others play leave them in the comments.   

Taylor Goldsmith is leaving behind a legacy of beautifully crafted guitar pieces that I'm honored to even 
listen too let alone play. This is another such piece... 

Tuning: Standard 




Open with E bass notes 
(Verse:) 

E                     E2 
If I ever get back to St. Louis again 
              E      Bm7     A 
There's gonna be some changes made 
          C#m                           G#m    
I'm gonna find old Alice and right where I left off 
           A          B    E 
It's gonna be just as if I stayed 

E                              E2 
That old organ grinder's gonna wind his box 
        E                Bm7   A 
And the knife sharpener's gonna sing 
     C#m                  G#m 
When I get back to St. Louis again 
          A        B       E 
I'm gonna buy that diamond ring 

(Chorus:) 

        A 
Diamond ring 
        E 
Diamond ring 
           G# 
Shine like gold 
  C#m       A      D 
Behold that diamond ring 


If I ever get back to St. Louis again 
Everybody's gonna smile 
One of the Mack girls dragged me up to Washington 
I got stuck there for a while 

She gave me more misery than a man can hold 
And I took her bad advice 
Now I don't aim to bother anyone 
I have paid that awful price 

Diamond ring 
Diamond ring 
Shine like gold 
Behold that diamond ring 

If ever I get back to St. Louis again 
That diamond ring is gonna shine 
That old burlesque dancer is gonna bum around 
And everything's gonna be fine 

I'm gonna settle up my accounts with lead 
And leave the rest up to the law 
Then I'm gonna marry the one I love 
And head out for Wichita 

Diamond ring 
Diamond ring 
Shine like gold 
Behold that diamond ring 

(End on D strummed ^)
