Diamonds And Rust Joan Baez
[Em]Well [Em]I'll be damned
Here comes your [C]ghost again
But that's not u[G]nusual
Its just that the [D]moon is full
And you happened to [Em]call
And [Em]here I sit
Hand on the [C]telephone
I'm hearing a vo[G]ice I'd known
A couple of [D]light years ago
Heading straight for a [Em]fall
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
[Bm]
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around
And snow in your [Am]hair
Now y[Bm]ou're smiling out of the window of that crummy hotel
Over Washington [Am]square
Our br[C]eath comes out of white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the [G]air
Speaking[Fmaj7] strictly for me
We both could have died then and [G]there [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
