Diamonds And Rust Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Em Em/F♯ Em 2x *

 Well EmI'll be damned Em/F♯ Em

 Here comes your Cghost again

 But that's not unGusual

 It's just that the Dmoon is full

 And you happened to EmcallEm/F♯ Em

 And Emhere I sit Em/F♯ Em

 Hand on the Ctelephone

 Hearing a Gvoice I'd known

 A couple of Dlight years ago

Em Em Em/F♯ Em 2x

Heading straight for a fall

 As EmI remember your eyes Em Em F♯ Em

 Were bluer than Crobin's eggs

 My poetry was Glousy you said

 Where are you Dcalling from?

Em Em Em/F♯ Em 2x

A booth in the Midwest

EmTen years agoEm Em F♯ Em

 I bought you some Ccufflinks

 You brought me Gsomething

 We both know what Dmemories can bring

Em Em Em/F♯ Em 2x

They bring diamonds and rust

Well you burst on the scene

Already a legend

The unwashed phenomenon

The original vagabond

You strayed into my arms

And there you stayed

Temporarily lost at sea

The Madonna was yours for free

Yes the girl on the half-shell

Would keep you unharmed

 Now BmI see you standing

With brown leaves falling around

 And snow in your Amhair

 Now Bmyou're smiling out the window

Of that crummy hotel

 Over Washington AmSquare

 Our Cbreath comes out white clouds

 Mingles and hangs in the Gair

 Speaking F7Mstrictly for me

 We both could have died then and GtherB7e

Now you're telling me

You're not nostalgic

Then give me another word for it

You who are so good with words

And at keeping things vague

Because I need some of that vagueness now

It's all come back too clearly

Yes I loved you dearly

And if you're offering me diamonds and rust

I've already paid

Em Em/F♯ Em 4x
