Текст песни Passenger - Diamonds

Diamonds
Passenger
Diamonds by Passenger, from his album "Flight of the Crow" from 2010.
He plays it with the capo on 7th fret - at least on the version I listened to:
The spotify-version featuring Simon R. Beckleman. 

The other tab here is fine, but had the missing Am/Em as flaws, so I decided to work that out
and also add a short section of the guitar in the intro
The little guitar riff intro-thing he does will be included at the bottom, for those who fancy that.

For the rhythm I suggest you listen to the song and sort out what works for you :)

   Well I spoke to this man
   Said he'd been to the moon
   Carved his name in the ground
   Saw the world spinning round
   (and) came back that afternoon.

   And I laughed at this man
   Said he'd been lost at sea
   Heard the sirens' call
   Seen the pirates fall
   To the monsters in the deep

   I said I'd heard some tall tales
   Some good stories in my time
   So I asked him for proof
   And he showed me the truth
   There was dancing in his eyes.

1st horn interlude:       
(you can play the guitar "riff" here, if you fancy)

   I could not believe this man
   Said he was a millionaire
   He said: "I know I dress in rags
   But I drive a vintage 'Jag'
   And I've got a diamond chandelier".

   I said I think I need a drink
   And made my way outside
   You know I'd swear this was a spoof
   If it wasn't for the truth
   There was dancing in his eyes.

2nd horn interlude/solo:        X2

(He isn't actually strumming anything here in the last part, maybe just one strum for each chord will do)

   When I came back in the room
   The man had disappeared
   He left a rock from the moon
   An eyepatch and a diamond
   From a chandelier.

The guitar figure during intro
It's up to you whether you play the stuff in ( ). It's nice as fillings if you play alone.

Relative to capo:

If you aren't playing with a capo, simply add 7 to the number of the frets listed above,
as such your 1st fret relative to capo would be your 8th fret instead, your open string in capo = 7th fret.
You get the idea :) 

Hope you found this useful!
