I did see diamond on the soles of her shoes on the web but wrong chords!
I got mine from the songbook years ago when I was sat in the library at
Manchester when i should have been working. 
The 5th fret thing is my touch cause I saw Paul playing this song live
in a documentary with capo on.

PAUL SIMON
DIAMONDS ON THE SOLES OF HER SHOES
(graceland)

CAPO 5th fret
C                                  F
People say she's crazy, she's got diamonds 
       G             C            F
on the soles of her shoes, well that's
            G           C
one way to lose these walking blues

diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

C            
She's was physically forgotten then she
F                 G                 C
slipped into my pocket with my car keys.
     F           G              C
she said you've taken me for granted
 F                 G

 C           F        G
diamonds

And she said honey take me dancing but
        G                        C
