This is one by our very favorite American folk singer.
The queen of folk in America, who is Joan Baez.
And we heard this song and fell in love with it.
It's called Diamonds and Rust.
[C] [Em]
Well I'll be damned, here [C] comes your ghost again.
[G] But that's not unusual, [D] it's just that the moon is full.
And you [Em] happen to call.
And here I sit, my head [C] on the telephone.
[G] Hearing a voice I know, a [D] couple of light years ago.
Heading straight [E] for a fall.
As I [Em] remember your eyes were bluer [C] than robin's eggs.
My [G] poetry was lousy, you said.
Where [D] are you calling from?
[Em] A booth in the midwest.
Ten years ago, [C] I bought you some cufflinks.
Or new [G] buttons, something.
But we both know what [D] memories can bring.
[Em] They bring diamonds and rust.
[C] [G]
[D] [Em] Will you burst on the scene, [E] already [C] a legend.
The unwashed [G] phenomenon, the [D] original vagabond.
Straight into [Em] my heart.
And there you stay, temporarily [C] lost at sea.
The Madonna was [G] yours, you prayed.
Is the [D] girl on the half-shed, would keep you [Em] alive.
Now [Bm] I see you standing with leaves falling [Am] around and snow in your hair.
[Bm] Now you're smiling out the window of that hotel on [Am] Washington Square.
[C] A breath comes out, white health, mingles and [G] hangs in the air.
Speaking [F] of Sturkey, live for me.
We both could have [G] died even then.
[B]
[Em] Now you're telling me, you're not [C] legit.
Well then give [G] me another word for it.
You were always [D] so good at [Em] keeping things big.
Cause I need some of that big as hell.
It's all coming back to me.
And [G] if your heart burned me, [D] diamonds and rust.
[Em] You [C] [G]
[D] [Em] [C]
[G] [D] were already [E] dead.
