Diamonds by the Yard â Elliott Murphy
-------------------------------------
Progression throughout the song:
â â -
(listen to the song for timing and rhythm)
As I lay down with my lady
The sounds of the night keep me warm
I m living a city life - I m living maybe
But tonight there s no reason to be strong
Romantic poets guard the darkness
My my all at such an early age
An old man sheds a tear
He opens a little gold locket
He thought his little girl was lost in an Indian raid
Somewhere in these night lights lies the answer
And you can get diamonds by the yard
A tiffany dream - A porcelain dancer
An old man (/Olivier!) playing blues guitar
Chorus:
Midnight I surrender
I live beneath your ancient spell
You ve been my lover since I can t remember
You save my life with the stories you tell
