Diamonds & Rust Chords by Joan Baez

_ _ _ Well _ I'll be damned, [Db] here comes your ghost again
But [Ab] that's not unusual, _ it's just that [Eb] the moon is full
And [Fm] you happen to call
_ And here I sit, [Ab] at [Db] the phone
Hearing [Ab] a voice I'd known
A couple [Eb] of light years ago
Heading straight [Fm] for a fall _ _
_ _ Yes I remember your [Ab] eyes were blue [Db]
and tainted
[Bbm] My poetry [Ab] was lousy you said
Where are [Eb] you calling from?
A [Fm] booth in the Midwest _
Ten years ago I [Db] bought you some cufflinks
You [Ab] brought me something
We [Eb] both know what memories can bring
They bring [Fm] diamonds and _ rust _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well you burst on the scene already [Db] a legend _
The [Ab] unwashed phenomenon
The original [Eb] _
vagabond
You strayed into [Fm] my heart
And there you stayed, temporarily [Db] lost at sea
The Madonna [Ab] was yours for free
Yes the girl [Eb] on the half shell
Could keep you [Fm] _ _
_ unharmed
_ Now [Cm] I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around and [Bbm] snow in your hair
Now [Cm] you're smiling at a hotel over Washington [Bbm] Square
_ [Db] A breath comes out, white clouds mingles and [Ab] hangs in the _ air
[Gb] Speaking strictly for 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 [Db] all come back to clearly
Yes [Ab] I love you dearly
And if you're offering [Eb] me diamonds and rust
I've already [Fm] paid
