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 F 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 F And if youʼre offering G B7 Diamonds and rust Iʼve already paid
