From: "Graceland"

The a capella intro is in E, the song in F. I suggest using a
capo 3rd fret and play D (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 was physically forgotten
     G        A         D    Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Then she slipped into my pocket with my car keys
      G      A         D    Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Said you've taken me for granted, because I please you
       G   A   D  Dsus4 D Dsus4 D   G  A
Wearing these di-i-i-i-i-i-iamonds

As if everybody knows what I'm talking about
   G          A            D    Dsus4 D Dsus4 D

He makes the sign of a wave
  G        A          D    Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
The poor boy changes clothes and puts on aftershave
  G         A     D   Dsus4 D Dsus4 D   G  A
To compensate for his ordinary shoes

Ended up by sleeping in a doorway
     G       A        D    Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
By the bodegas and the lights on upper Broadway
    G        A      D    Dsus4 D Dsus4 D  G  A
Wearing diamonds on the soles of her shoes
