Diamonds And Rust
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
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
And you happened to call
[Verse 2]
And here I sit
C
Hand on the telephone
G
Hearing a voice I'd known
D
A couple of light years ago
Em
Heading straight for a fall
[Verse 3]
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
"A booth in the Midwest"
[Verse 4]
Four years ago
C
I bought you some cufflinks
G
You brought me something
D
We both know what memories can bring
Em
They bring diamonds and rust
[Verse 5]
Well, you burst on the scene
C
Already a legend
G
The unwashed phenomenon
D
The original vagabond
Em
You strayed into my arms
[Verse 6]
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
Could keep you unharmed
[Bridge]
Bm
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling around
D
And snow in your hair
Bm
Now you're smiling out the window
D
Of that crummy hotel over Washington Square
C
Our breath comes out white clouds
G
Mingles and hangs in the air
F
Speaking strictly for me
G B7 Em
We both could have died then and there_____
[Verse 7]
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
And at keeping things vague
[Verse 8]
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
C
It's all coming back too clearly
G
Yes, I once loved you dearly
D
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
Em
I've already paid___
