Diamonds And Rust Chords by Joan Baez

[Fm] .
[Bb] [Fm] [G] .
[Fm] [G] [C] [Fm] .
Well, I'll be damned Here [Db] comes your ghost again.
[Bbm] But that's [Ab] not unusual It's just [Eb] that the moon is full.
And you [Fm] happen to call And here I sit, [Db] hand 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 eyes were bluer [Db] than.
robin's eggs My poetry [Ab] was lousy, you said.
Where are [Eb] you calling from?.
A booth [Fm] in the Midwest.
Ten years ago I bought [Db] you some cupcakes You [Ab] brought me something.
We [Eb] both know what memories can bring They bring [Fm] diamonds and rust .
[G] [Fm] [C] .
[Fm] Oh, you burst on the scene already [Db] a legend The [Ab] unwashed phenomenon.
The [Eb] original vagabond You strayed [Fm] into my heart.
And there you stayed [Db] Temporarily 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 snow [Bbm] in your hair.
Now you're [Cm] smiling out the window of that crummy hotel [Bbm] over Washington Square.
[Db] Our bread comes out, white clouds mingles and [Ab] hangs in the air.
[Gb] Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then [Ab] and there.
Now [C] .
.
[Fm] .
you're telling me you're not [Db] nostalgic Then give me another [Ab] word for it.
You were [Eb] so good with words And at keeping [Fm] things vague.
Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back [Db] too clearly.
Yes, I love [Ab] you dearly And if you're offering [Eb] me diamonds and rust.
I've already [Fm] paid .
