(Original Key: Gm)
Intro:
Em C D (x2)
Em C D
Oh no, oh no,
Em C D
Oh no.
Verse 1:
Em C D
You'll never make me stay, so take your weight off of me,
Em C D
I know your every move, so won't you just let me be?
Em C D
I've been here times before, but I was too blind to see,
Em C D
That you se-duce every man; this time you won't seduce me.
Em C D
She's saying; that's ok, hey baby, do what you please,
Em C D
I have the stuff that you want; I am the thing that you need.
Em C D
She looked me deep in the eyes, she's touchin' me, so to start,
F#m B
She says there's no turnin' back; she trapped me in her heart.
Chorus 1:
Em C C
Dirty Di-ana, nah, Dirty Di-ana, nah.
Em C Em C D
Dirty Di-ana, no, Dirty Di-ana; let me be!
Interlude:
Em C D (x2)
Em C D
Oh no, oh no,
Em C D
Oh no.
Verse 2:
Em C D
She likes the boys in the band; she knows when they come to town,
Em C D
Every musician's fan, after the curtain comes down.
Em C D
She waits at backstage doors, for those who have pres-tige,
Em C D
Who promise fortune and fame; a life that's so care-free.
Em C D
She's saying; that's ok, hey baby, do what you want,
Em C D
I'll be your night lovin' thing, I'll be the freak you can taunt.
Em C D
And I don't care what you say; I want to go too far,
F#m B
I'll be your everything, if you make me a star.
Chorus 2:
Em C C
Dirty Di-ana, nah, Dirty Di-ana, nah.
Em C Em C D
Dirty Di-ana, no, Dirty Di-ana.
Em C C
Dirty Di-ana, nah, Dirty Di-ana, nah.
Em C Em C D
Dirty Di-ana, no, Dirty Di-ana.

Di-ana!

Di-ana!
Em C D
Dirty Di-ana!
Em C D Em C D
It's Dia-aa-aa, come on!
Solo:
Em C D (x8)
Verse 3:
Em C D
She said I have to go home, 'cos I'm real tired you see,
Em C D
But I hate sleepin' alone; why don't you come with me?
Em C D
I said my baby's at home; she's probably worried to-night,
Em C D
I didn't call on the phone, to say that I'm al-right.
Em C D
Diana walked up to me, she said; I'm all yours to-night,
Em C D
At that I ran to the phone, sayin'; baby, I'm al-right.
Em C D
I said but unlock the door, because I forgot the key.
F#m B
She said; he's not coming back; because he's sleeping with me.

You never make me stay
So take your weight off of me
I know your every move
So won't you just let me be
I've been here times before
But I was too blind to see
That you seduce every man
This time you won't seduce me
She's saying that's okay
Hey baby do what you please

She looked me deep in the eyes
She's touchin' me so to start
She says there's no turnin' back

Let me be!
Oh no

She likes the boys in the band
She knows when they come to town
Every musician's fan after the curtain comes down
She waits at backstage doors
For those who have prestige
Who promise fortune and fame
A life that's so carefree
She's says that's okay
Hey baby do what you want
I'll be your night lovin' thing
I'll be the freak you can taunt
And I don't care what you say
I want to go too far
I'll be your everything

'Cause I'm real tired you see
But I hate sleppin' alone
Why don't you come with me
I said my baby's at home
She's probably worried tonight
I didn't call on the phone to
Say that I'm alright
Diana walked up to me,
She said I'm all yours tonight
At that I ran to the phone
Sayin' baby I'm alright
I said but unlock the door.
Because I forgot the key.
She said he's not coming back
Because he's sleeping with me
