Her (G) eyes they shone like diamonds
You think she was queen of the (D) land
With her (G) hair thrown over her (EM) shoulder
Tied (C) up with a (D) black velvet (G) band.
As I (G) went walking down Broadway
Not intending to stay very (D) long
I (G) met with this frolicksome (EM) damsel
As ( C ) she came (D) tripping (G) along
Her (G) eyes they shone like diamonds
You think she was queen of the (D) land
With her (G) hair thrown over her (EM) shoulder
Tied (C) up with a (D) black velvet (G) band.
A (G) watch she took from his pocket
And slipped it right into my (D) hand
On the (G) very first day that I (EM) met her
Bad ( C ) luck to the (D) black velvet ( G) band
Her (G) eyes they shone like diamonds
You think she was queen of the (D) land
With her (G) hair thrown over her (EM) shoulder
Tied (C) up with a (D) black velvet (G) band.
Before (G) the judge and jury,
Next morning we had to (D) appear,
A (G) claimed his (Em) jewelry
And the ( C) case against (D) us was (G) clear
Her (G) eyes they shone like diamonds
You think she was queen of the (D) land
With her (G) hair thrown over her (EM) shoulder
Tied (C) up with a (D) black velvet (G) band.
Her (G) eyes they shone like diamonds
You think she was queen of the (D) land
With her (G) hair thrown over her (EM) shoulder
Tied (C) up with a (D) black velvet (G) band.
Seven ( G ) long years transportation,
Right down to “Van Diemanes ( D) Land”,
Far (G) away from my friends and com (EM) panions,
Betrayed ( C) by the (D) black velvet (G) band…
Her (G) eyes they shone like diamonds
You think she was queen of the (D) land
With her (G) hair thrown over her (EM) shoulder
Tied (C) up with a (D) black velvet (G) band.
