Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes - Paul Simon
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submitted by honey girl
From: "Graceland"
The a capella intro is in E, the song in F. I suggest using a
capo 3rd fret and play 
D MajorD (
C#C# for the intro). That way it is
easy to play the licks between the vocal lines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the main turnaround. Incorporate the voicings into your individual
strumming pattern.

She's a rich girl, she don't try to hide it
