[F#m] Well, I'll be damned, here [D] comes your [E] ghost again, but [A] that's not unusual, it's just [E] that
the moon is full and you [F#m] happen to call.
And here I sit, and [D] on the [E] telephone,
[A] hearing a voice I'd know a [E] couple of light years ago,
heading [F#m] straight for a fall.
Well, as I remember your eyes were [D] bluer than Robin's [E] haze,
[A] my poor cue's lousy, you said.
[F#] Where [E] are you calling from?
A [F#m] booth in the Midwest.
Forty years ago [A] I brought [D] you some cufflinks, you [A] brought me something.
We both know [E] what memories can bring, they bring [F#m] diamonds and rust.
Well, you burst on the scene, already a legend,
[Bm] the [A] unwashed phenomenon,
the [E] original vagabond, you strayed [F#m] into my arms.
And there you stay, temporarily [D] lost at sea, [A] the Madonna was yours for free.
Yes, the girl [E] on the half-shell could keep [F#m] you on the hard.
[C#m] Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling [Bm] all around and snow in your hair.
[C#m] Now you're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel [Bm] over Washington Square.
[D] Our dress comes in white clouds, mingles and [A] hangs in the air.
[G] Speaking strictly for me, we both could have died [A] then and there.
[C#]
[F#m]
Now you're telling me you're [D] not nostalgic, and give me [A] another word for it.
[E] You are so good with words, and at keeping [F#m] things vague.
As I need some of that vagueness, now it's all [D] come back too clearly.
Yes, I [A] once loved you dearly, and if you're [E] offering me diamonds and rust,
then I've [F#m] already got it.
