Lyrics (cont'd):
On a diamond
I lay on a diamond
On a diamond
I lay awake
D'Artagnan
Good ol' D'Artagnan
He ain't got a thing on me
I've been minding
To my field of timing
Too bad your time in
It just never came
Chorus: (strum chords)
C
Well I don't know how else to say
F
In a diffrent way
G
But why don't you just fade away
C
'Cause there's a battle going on
F
Down south of Babylon
G
So why don;t you just fade away
