V5.5

[INTRO: Dirty Chicago-style blues harmonica solo] Verse 1 Met my baby on the Fenchurch Street line She looked at me and I knew things were fine Took her out for a doner kebab Best fucking meal I ever had [SOLO: 16-bar featured blues harmonica solo] She asked me back to her council flat Lit a smoke and said I'll have some of that Didn't tell me her old man was at home Walked back to the pub alone [CHORUS x2] My baby's a diamond Loves to rock 'n' roll My baby's a diamond Got so much soul [HARMONICA & GUITAR TRADE SOLOS] Verse 2 She caught up with me in a swanky new bar She told me things had gone way, way too far I bit the bullet and finished my jar Gave her my number and jumped in my car [SOLO: Extended blues harmonica takes the lead] She phoned me up at a quarter to four Next thing I know she is there at the door Now we are married with a screaming diamond kid Best fucking thing I ever did [CHORUS x2] My baby's a diamond Loves to rock 'n' roll My baby's a diamond Got so much soul [BREAKDOWN: Harmonica only] [FINAL CHORUS x2] My baby's a diamond Loves to rock 'n' roll My baby's a diamond Loves to rock 'n' roll [OUTRO: Long, wild harmonica solo with guitar answering each phrase. Fade out like a sweaty live pub gig.
