[Gm] [N] Paul Carr, the most talented crazy person I ever worked with.
[Em]
[A] [Em]
[F#] [B] [G] [B]
[Em]
I'll be damned, here [C] comes your ghost [G] again.
But that's not unusual, it's [D] just as you have said,
you [Em] haven't the power.
And here I sit, [C] hand on the telephone,
[Em] [G] hearing a voice I know,
a [D] couple of light years ago,
heading [Em] straight for a fall.
I remember your eyes were [C] bluer than robin's [G] eggs,
my poetry was lousy, you said,
[D] where were you calling from?
A [E] booth in the midwest.
[Em]
Ten years ago, I [C] bought you some cufflinks,
[G] you brought me something,
we [D] both know what memories can bring,
they [E] bring diamonds and rub.
[Em] [F#]
[B] [G] [B] [Em]
You burst on the scene, [C] already a legend,
[G] the unwashed phenomenon,
the [D] original vagabond.
You [Em] strayed into mom, and there you stayed,
[C] temporarily lost at sea,
[G] the Madonna was yours to be,
yes, [D] the girl on the half-shell,
[Em] would keep you unharmed.
[Bm] Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all [Am] around,
and snow in your hair,
[Bm] now we're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over [Am] Washington Square,
[C] our breath comes out, white clouds [G] mingles and hangs in the air,
[F] speaking strictly for me,
we both could have [G] died then and there.
[B] [Bm] [F#]
[Bm] [G] [B] [Em]
Now you're telling me,
[C] you're not nostalgic,
[Em] well, [G] give me another word for it,
[D] you were so good with words,
and at [Em] keeping things vague,
cause I need some of that vagueness,
now it's all [C] come back to clearly,
[G] yes, I loved you dearly,
and if you're [D] offering me diamonds,
[Em] I've already paid.
