C#/E C/Eb B/D A/C# Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand; D A/C# Bm7 A The things you think are precious I can't understand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is what I dug out from Nevada. The first two lines are fine... But C#/E , C/Eb etc for the third and fourth lines ????? If you try these chords, they sound pretty weird. C# with an E bass ? If you try E with a C# bass it's almost right though I prefer these chorts : Em7 B/D# Dm7 A/C# you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand Probably it was a slip up when it was typed in, cos' everything except this line is Ok.

C#/E C/Eb B/D A/C# The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned; D A/C# Bm7 A The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand. CHORUS D A/C# Bm7 A I've spent a lit of money and I spent a lot of time; D A/C# Bm7 A The trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind. C#/E C/Eb B/D A/C# After all the things we've done and seen you find another man; D A/C# Bm7 A The things you think are useless I can't understand.
