Fm Fm Well Iʼll be damned C# Here comes your ghost again G# But thatʼs not unusual D# Its just that the moon is full Fm And you happened to call Fm And here I sit C# Hand on the telephone G# Iʼm hearing a voice Iʼd known D# А couple of light years ago Fm Heading straight for a fall Fm Fm As I remember, C# Your eyes were bluer than robinsʼ eggs G# My poetry was lousy you said D# Where are you calling from? Fm А booth in mid-west Fm Ten years ago C# I bought you some cuff-links G# You bought me something D# We both know what memories can bring Fm They bring diamonds and rust Fm Fm You burst on the scene C# Already a legend G# The unwashed phenomenon D# The original vagabond Fm You strayed into my arms Fm And there you stayed C# Temporarily lost at sea G# The madonna was yours for free D# The girl on the half-shell Fm Could keep you unharmed Cm Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around A#m And snow in your hair Cm Now youʼre smiling out of the window of that crummy hotel A#m Over Washington square C# Our breath comes out of white clouds G# Mingles and hangs in the air F# Speaking strictly for me G# C7 We both could have died then and there Cm Now your telling me your not nostalgic A#m Then give me another word for it Cm You who are so good with words and keeping things vague A#m ʼCos I need some of that vagueness now C# Its all come back too clearly G# Yes I loved you dearly F# And if youʼre offering G# C7 Diamonds and rust Iʼve already paid
