Damned if I know why there's a Gary Lewis and the Playboys song at Andrew's
Ace Archives, even if they were the first 'name' band I ever heard live...

Verse 1:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/gary_lewis/this_diamond_ring_crd.html ]
	Bm               D/B          E/B    Bm
	Who wants to buy this diamond ring?
	    Bm                         D/B                E/B   C
	She took it off her finger now, it doesn't mean a thing

Chorus 1:

	F            Am/E         Dm            C
	This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore
	    F            Am/E         Dm            C
	And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it did before
	   Dm        Am      Dm        Am      Gm
	So if you've got someone who's love is true
	C                F      F#
	Let it shine for you

Verse 2:

	This stone is genuine, like love should be
	And if your baby's truer than my baby was to me

Chorus 2:

	This diamond ring can be something beautiful
	And this diamond ring can be dreams that are coming true
	And then your heart won't have to break like mine did
	If there's love behind it

[Organ/guitar break over verse chords]

[repeat chorus 2]

Coda [repeat to fade]:

	F            Am/E         Dm            C
	This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore
	    F            Am/E         Dm            C
	And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it did before
