Well, I'll be damned, here [Db] comes your ghost again.
But [Ab] that's not unusual, it's [Eb] just that the moon is full, and you [Fm] happen to call.
And here I sit, [Db] and 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 [Cm] remember, your [Ab] eyes were [Db] bluer than robin's eggs.
My [Ab] poetry was lousy, you said.

[Fm]
Now you're telling me [Db] you're not nostalgic.
