Diamonds and Rust chords
Joan Baez
Capo I
Em Em/Gb Em 2x *
Em Em/Gb Em
Well I'll be damned
C
Here comes your ghost again
G
But that's not unusual
D
It's just that the moon is full
Em Em/Gb Em
And you happened to call
Em Em/Gb Em
And here I sit
C
Hand on the telephone
G
Hearing a voice I'd known
D
A couple of light years ago
Em Em Em/Gb Em 2x
Heading straight for a fall
Em Em Em/Gb Em
As I remember your eyes
C
Were bluer than robin's eggs
G
My poetry was lousy you said
D
Where are you calling from?
Em Em Em/Gb Em 2x
A booth in the Midwest
Em Em Em/Gb Em
Ten years ago
C
I bought you some cufflinks
G
You brought me something
D
We both know what memories can bring
Em Em Em/Gb 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
Bm
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
Am
And snow in your hair
Bm
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Am
Over Washington Square
C
Our breath comes out white clouds
G
Mingles and hangs in the air
Fmaj7
Speaking strictly for me
G B7
We both could have died then and there
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/Gb Em 4x
* To form Em/Gb: form Em then add high E string, same fret
Set8
