DIAMONDS AND RUST - Joan Baez
>From record of same name
Chords are as played; I cannot remember what fret the capo should go on (I play it open in C tuning)
EmWell EmI'll be damned
Here comes your Cghost again
But that's not uGnusual
Its just that the Dmoon is full
And you happened to Emcall
And Emhere I sit
Hand on the Ctelephone
I'm hearing a voGice I'd known
A couple of Dlight years ago
Heading straight for a Emfall
As I remember,
Your eyes were bluer than robins' eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from'
A booth in mid-west
Ten years ago
I bought you some cuff-links
You bought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
You burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The madonna was yours for free
The girl on the half-shell
Could keep you unharmed
Now I Bmsee you standing with brown leaves falling all around
And snow in your Amhair
Now yBmou're smiling out of the window of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Amsquare
Our brCeath comes out of white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the Gair
SpeakingFmaj7 strictly for me
We both could have died then and Gthere B7
Now your telling me
Your not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And keeping things vague
'Cos I need some of that vagueness now
Its all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering diamonds and rust
I've already paid
