Em C G D Bm Am Fmaj7 B7



Em   Em
Well Iʼll be damned
                C
Here comes your ghost again
                G
But thatʼs not unusual
                  D
Its just that the moon is full
                    Em
And you happened to call
    Em
And here I sit
            C
Hand on the telephone
                G
Iʼm hearing a voice Iʼd known
            D
А couple of light years ago
                       Em
Heading straight for a fall

Em   Em
As I remember,
                C
Your eyes were bluer than robinsʼ eggs
                G
My poetry was lousy you said
                D
Where are you calling from?
                Em
А booth in mid-west
      Em
Ten years ago
                C
I bought you some cuff-links
                G
You bought me something
                D
We both know what memories can bring
                Em
They bring diamonds and rust

Em   Em
You burst on the scene
              C
Already a legend
                G
The unwashed phenomenon
                D
The original vagabond
                Em
You strayed into my arms
      Em
And there you stayed
                C
Temporarily lost at sea
                G
The madonna was yours for free
                D
The girl on the half-shell
                Em
Could keep you unharmed

      Bm
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around
                 Am
And snow in your hair
     Bm
Now youʼre smiling out of the window of that crummy hotel
                Am
Over Washington square
      C
Our breath comes out of white clouds
                         G
Mingles and hangs in the air
        Fmaj7
Speaking strictly for me
                                 G   B7
We both could have died then and there

      Bm
Now your telling me your not nostalgic
                 Am
Then give me another word for it
      Bm
You who are so good with words and keeping things vague
                 Am
ʼCos I need some of that vagueness now
      C
Its all come back too clearly
                    G
Yes I loved you dearly
        Fmaj7
And if youʼre offering
                              G B7
Diamonds and rust Iʼve already paid
