Joan Baez - Diamonds and rust

Well I'll^Am be damned Here comes your gh^Fost again But that's ^Cnot unusual It's just that the m^Goon is full And you happened to call^Am

And here ^AmI sit, hand on the telep^Fhone Hearing a voice I'^Cd known A couple of light ye^Gars ago Heading straight for a f^Amall

As I reme^Ammber your eyes Were bluer than ro^Fbin's eggs "My poetry was lousy^C", you said Where are you callin^Gg from? A booth in the Midwest ^Am

Ten years^Am ago I bought you some ^Fcuff links You brought me somet^Ching And we both know wha^Gt memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust ^Am

You burst^Am on the scene Already a legend ^F The unwashed phenome^Cnon The original vagabon^Gd You strayed into my arms ^Am

And there^Am you stayed Temporarily lost a^Ft sea The Madonna was your^Cs for free Yes the girl on the ^Ghalf-shell Would keep you unharmed ^Am

Now I se^Ge you standing with leaves falling around An' snow in your hair^F Now you're smili^Gng out the window Of that hotel over Washington Squa^Fre Our brea^Amth comes out white clouds Mingles and hangs in the^G air Speaking str^Amictly for me We both could have died then and there ^G7

Now you'r^Ame telling me You're not nostalg^Fic Then give me another^C word for it You were always so g^Good with words And at keeping things vague ^Am

'Cause I ^Amneed some of that vagueness now It's all coming back too clearly ^F Oh, loved you dearly^C And if you're offering me diam^Gonds and rust I've alread^Amy paid...
