_ _ _ _ _ Well, I'll be damned, here [Db] comes your ghost again.
But that's [Ab] not unusual, it's just [Eb] that the moon is full, and you [Fm] happen to call.
_ And here I sit, [Db] hand on the telephone, _ [Ab] hearing a voice I'd known a [Eb] couple of light years
ago, heading [Fm] straight for a fall. _ _ _
_ As I remember, your eyes were bluer [Db] than robin's eggs.
My [Ab] poetry was lousy, you said.
Where [Eb] are you calling from?
A [Fm] booth in the Midwest.
_ _ Ten years ago, I bought [Db] you some cufflinks.
You [Ab] brought me something.
We [Eb] both know what memories can bring.
They bring [Fm] diamonds and _ rust.

Well, you burst on the scene, already [Db] a legend.
The [Ab] unwashed phenomenon.
The [Eb] original vagabond.
You strayed [Fm] into my arms.
And there you stayed, temporarily [Db] lost at sea.
[Bbm] The Madonna [Ab] was yours for free.
Yes, the girl [Eb] on the half-shell could keep [Fm] you unharmed. _
_ _ Now [Cm] I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around and [Bbm] snow in your hair.
Now you're [Cm] smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over Washington [Bbm] Square.
_ [Db] Our breath comes out, white clouds mingles and hangs [Ab] in the air.
[Gb] Speaking strictly for me, we both could have died [Ab] then and there.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ Now you're telling me you're not [Db] nostalgic.
Then give me another [Ab] word for it.
You're [Eb] so good with words and at keeping [Fm] things vague.
_ Because I need some of that vagueness now it's all come back [Db] to clearly.
Yes, I love [Ab] you dearly.
And if you're offering [Eb] me diamonds and rust, I've already [Fm] paid. _ _ _
