Diamonds and pearls don't move this girl

She could be icy cold to the crawl

One of her lungs breathes in another world

While the other sticks around to blow you off

Even when the four winds blow,
D5 E5 E5

D5 D5
One of these days I'm gonna dive into her waves and
E5 E5
bring back the meaning of it all

They say in Ancient times, man, that women ruled the World

Well, I got me a woman as alive as the day

Gonna breathe a whisper, knock you right down to the ground
D5
So go ahead, man, and say what you came to say

"The black widow's a spider, the black widow's a spider"

Then go and prepare for your dying day

Oh yeah!

Diamonds and pearls don't move this girl
She can be icy cold to the crawl
One of her lungs breathes in another world
While the other sticks around to blow you off
Even when the four winds blow
She kinda passes by like she don't feel it
No, momma, she don't feel it
One of these days I'm gonna dive into her waves
And bring back the meaning of it all
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
They say in ancient times, man, that women ruled the world
But the goddess was the one who laid it down
Well, I gots a woman as alive as the day
Gonna breathe a whisper, knock you right down to the ground
So go ahead man and say what you came to say
The black widow's a spider
The black widow's a spider
Then go and prepare for your dyin' day
Won't take one minute till you're curled up dead beside her
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
On me like rain
Fall down
Fall down
Fall down
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
Sofia, I need ya
Like a freeloader needs his train
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
Sofia, rain down on me
And I ain't ever
I'll never be the same, baby
I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain

version 3
The whole song is played with a capo on the first fret. Well, not really but it makes
song a bit easier. All chords are relative to the capo. The Em at the end I'm not really
about, but just play around with it.
