Sade Lyrics - Diamond Life
SMOOTH OPERATOR
Words and Music: Sade Adu and St. John
Dm Dm/Db
He's laughing with another girl
Am7/C Am7/Cb
And playing with another heart.
Dm Dm/Db
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
Am7/C Am7/Cb
He's loved in seven languages.
Dm Dm/Db
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Am7/C Am7/Cb
Heaven help him, when he falls.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
City lights and business nights.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.
Gm7 Am7 Dm Dm/Db Am7/C Am7/B
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
Gm7 Am7 Dm Dm/Db Am7/C Am7/B
When sentiment is left to chance.
Gm7 Am7 Dm
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.
Fill A
No need to ask.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
He's a smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.
Face to face, each classic case.
We shadow box and double cross,
Yet need the chase.
""Some where here is the guitar, sax solo" "Dorfun make it your own
solo"
Gm7 Am7 Dm
A license to love, insurance to hold.
Gm7 Am7 Dm
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
Gm7 Am7 Dm
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.
Fill A
No need to ask.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
He's a smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SADE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
