Intro Dm 

Verse 
Dm 
Well, I'll be damned 
                Bb 
Here comes your ghost again 
                 F 
But that's not unusual 
                   C 
It's just that the moon is full 
                    Dm 
And you happened to call 

Verse 
Dm 
And here I sit 
               Bb 
My hand on the telephone 
          F 
Hearing a voice I'd known 
            C 
A couple of light years ago 
                       Dm 
Heading straight for a fall 

Verse 
Dm 
As I remember your eyes 
                Bb 
Were bluer than robin's eggs 
              F 
My poetry was lousy you said 
              C 
Where are you calling from? 
                Dm 
A booth in the Midwest 

Verse 
Dm 
Ten years ago 
               Bb 
I bought you some cufflinks 
                      F 
Oh, and you brought me something 
                  C 
We both know what memories can bring 
N.C.                    Dm 
They bring diamonds and rust 

Instrumental 
Dm   Bb   F   C 

Verse 
      Dm 
Well, you burst on the scene 
          Bb 
Already a legend 
                F 
The unwashed phenomenon 
             C 
The original vagabond 
                   Dm 
You strayed into my arms 

Verse 
Dm 
And there you stayed 
            Bb 
Temporarily lost at sea 
                F 
The Madonna was yours for free 
                     C 
Yes, the girl on the half-shell 
                 Dm 
Could keep you unharmed 

Bridge 
      Am                                                        Gm 
Now I see you standing with leaves falling around and snow in your hair 
           Am                                                 Gm 
Now you're smiling out the window of that hotel over Washington Square 
    Bb                                                 F 
Our breath comes out white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air 
         Gm                                                F       A7 
Speaking strictly for me, we both could have died then and there 

Verse 
    Dm 
Now you're telling me 
              Bb 
You're not nostalgic 
                           F 
Well, then give me another word for it 
                   C 
You were always so good with words 
                     Dm 
And at keeping things vague 

Verse 
Dm 
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now 
                   Bb 
It's all come back too clearly 
               F 
Oh, I loved you dearly 
                      C 
If you're offering me diamonds and rust 
N.C.      Dm     Bb    F   C 
I've already paid___ 
             Dm    Bb   F   C 
Diamonds and rust 
             Dm    Bb   F   C 
Diamonds and rust 
             Dm    Bb   F   C 
Diamonds and rust
