Diamonds & Rust Chords by Joan Baez

_ _ _ _ _ _ Well, I'll be damned, [Db] here comes your ghost again
[Ab] But that's not unusual
It's just that [Eb] the moon is full
And you happen [Fm] to call
_ And here I sit, [Ab] and [Db] on the telephone
Hearing [Ab] a voice I'd known
A couple [Eb] of light years ago
Heading [Fm] straight for a _ fall _
_ _ As I remember your [Ab] eyes were [Db] bluer than Robin's eyes
[Bbm] My [Ab] poetry was lousy, you said
Where [Eb] were you calling from?
A [Fm] booth in the Midwest _ _
Ten years ago I bought you some [Db] _ cufflinks
You [Ab] brought me something
We [Eb] both know what memories can bring
They [Fm] bring diamonds and rust
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well, you burst on the scene already [Ab] a legend _
The unwashed phenomenon
The original [Eb] vagabond
You strayed into [Fm] my arms
_ And there you stayed, temporarily [Db] lost at sea
The Madonna [Ab] was yours for free
Yes, the curl [Eb] on the half-shell
Could keep you [Fm] unharmed
_ _ _ _ Now [Cm] I see you standing with brown leaves
Crawling all around in [Bbm] snow in your hair
Now [Cm] you're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel
Over [Bbm] Washington Square
A [Db] breath comes out, white clouds mingles and [Ab] hangs in the air
[Gb] Speaking strictly from me, we both could have died [Ab] then and there
_ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now you're telling me [Db] you're not nostalgic
Then [Ab] give me another word for it
[Eb] You were so good with words
And at [Fm] keeping things vague
Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all [Db] come back to clearly
Yes, [Ab] I love you dearly
And if [Eb] you're offering me diamonds and rust
[Fm] I've already paid
