Diamonds And Rust

Em  Em/Gb* Em  2x **

     Em             Em Em/Gb* Em
Well I'll be damned
                C
Here comes your ghost again
                 G
But that's not unusual
                   D
It's just that the moon is full
                    Em  Em Em/Gb* Em
And you happened to call

    Em         Em Em/Gb* Em
And here I sit
            C
Hand on the telephone
          G
Hearing a voice I'd known
            D
A couple of light years ago
                       Em   Em 
Heading straight for a fall
Em/Gb* Em  2x


   Em                   Em Em/Gb* Em
As I remember your eyes
                C
Were bluer than robin's eggs
              G
My poetry was lousy you said
              D
Where are you calling from?
               Em     Em Em/Gb* 
A booth in the Midwest
Em  2x


Em           Em  Em/Gb* Em
Ten years ago
                  C
I bought you some cufflinks

               G
You brought me something
                  D
We both know what memories can bring
                        Em   Em 
They bring diamonds and rust
Em/Gb* Em  2x


Em                         Em 
Well you burst on the scene
Em/Gb* Em

          C
Already a legend
                G
The unwashed phenomenon
             D
The original vagabond
                    Em   Em/Gb* Em
You strayed into my arms

    Em              Em Em/Gb* Em
And there you stayed
            C
Temporarily lost at sea
                G
The Madonna was yours for free
                    D
Yes the girl on the half-shell
               Em       Em Em/Gb* Em
Would keep you unharmed

    Bm
Now I see you standing

With brown leaves falling around
                 Am
And snow in your hair
    Bm
Now you're smiling out the window

Of that crummy hotel
                Am
Over Washington Square
    C
Our breath comes out white clouds
                         G
Mingles and hangs in the air
         Fmaj7
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and 
G    B7
there

Em  Em/Gb Em  2x

Em                   Em Em/Gb* Em
Now you're telling me
              C
You're not nostalgic
                     G
Then give me another word for it
               D
You who are so good with words
                      Em   Em 
And at keeping things vague
Em/Gb* Em


Em                        
Because I need some of that 
                Em Em/Gb* Em
vagueness now
                       C
It's all come back too clearly
                G
Yes I loved you dearly
                          D
And if you're offering me diamonds 
and rust
             Em
I've already paid
