Well, I'll be damned, here [Db] comes your ghost again.
But [Ab] that's not unusual, it's [Eb] just that the moon is full, and [Fm] you happen to call. _
And here I sit, and [Db] on the telephone, _ [Ab] hearing a voice I'd known
a [Eb] couple 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 [Eb] were you calling from?
A [Fm] booth in the Midwest.
_ Ten years ago, I bought you [Db] some cufflinks.
You [Ab] brought me something.
We [Eb] both know what memories can bring.
They bring [Fm] diamonds and rust.

_ _ _ Will you burst on the scene already, [Db] oh legend?
[Db] The [Ab] unwashed phenomenon, the [Eb] original vagabond.
You [Fm] strayed into my arms.
And there you stayed, [Ab] temporarily [Db] lost at sea.
[Bbm] The Madonna [Ab] was yours for free.
Yes, the twirl [Eb] on the half shell could [Fm] keep you unharmed.
_ _ [Cm] Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all [Bbm] around and snow in your hair.
Now you're [Cm] smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over [Bbm] Washington Square.
_ [Db] A breath comes out, white clouds mingles and [Ab] hangs in the air.
[Gb] Speaking strictly for me, we both could [Ab] have died then and there. _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ Now you're telling me you're not [Db] nostalgic.
Then give me [Ab] another word for it.
[Eb] You're so good with words, and at [Fm] keeping things vague.
Cause I need some of that vagueness now it's all come back to clearly.
[Ab] Yes, I love you dearly.
And if you're [Eb] offering me diamonds and rust, I've [Fm] already paid. _ _ _
