Start Jamming...
I love you, baby.
Well, I'll be [F#m] damned.
Here [D] comes your ghost again.
But [A] that's not unusual.
[E] It's just that the moon is full.
And you [F#] happen to [F#m] call.
And here I sit.
Hand [D] on my telephone.
[A] Hearing a voice I'd known
A [E] couple of light years ago
Heading straight [F#] for the ball.
[F#m] I remember your eyes
Were bluer [D] than Wednesday's.
My [A] poetry was lousy, you said.
[E] Where are you calling from?
A booth [F#m] in the Midwest.
Four years ago
I brought [D] you some coffins.
And you [A] brought me something.
We both [E] know what memories can bring.
They bring [F#m] diamonds and rubies.
Well, you burst on the scene.
Oh, Lady [D] Ellen.
The [A] unmarked phenomenon.
The [E] original Pebble Barn.
Straight [F#] into my [F#m] heart.
Straight down the road [D] you walked to see
The dominant honor was yours to free.
Yes, a [E] girl on the hot [E] shower
Could give you [F#m] all the power.
[C#] Now I see you standing with brown leaves
[Bm] Falling from your hair.
[C#m] You're smiling at the window
Of that crummy hotel [Bm] in Washington Square.
[D] Out of breath, warm subway clouds
Mingles and [A] hangs in the air.
[D] Speaking strictly to me
We both could die then [A] and there.
[C#]
[F#m]
Now you're shining.
[D] You're not nostalgic.
Well, [A] give me another word for it.
You [E] are vocal in the words.
And it's [F#m] keeping things vague.
Cause I need some of that vagueness now.
It all [D] comes back too clearly.
Yes, I once [A] loved you dearly.
And if you're [E] afraid me, diamonds and rust
Are not [F#m] even.
[F#]
Well, I'll be [F#m] damned.
