_ I'll be damned, [C] here comes your ghost again, but [G] that's not unusual, it's [D] just that the
moon is full, and you [Em] happen to call.
_ _ And here I sit, [D] lying [C] on the telephone, [G] hearing a voice I'd known
a couple [D] of light years ago, getting straight [Em] for a phone.
_ _ _ _ _ As I remember your eyes were bluer than robin's eggs,
[G] my poetry was lousy, you'd said, wherever you're [D] calling from,
a [Em] booth in the Midwest.
_ _ Thirty years ago I had [C] bodies and cufflinks,
[G] and you brought me something, and we [D] both know what memories can bring,
they bring diamonds [Em] and rust. _ _

_ [Em] You burst on the scene, [G] already a legend, _
the unwashed phenomenon, the origin [D] of vagabond,
you strayed into [Em] mine.
_ And there you stayed,
temporarily [C] lost at sea, the Madonna [G] was yours to breed,
yes the girl [D] on the half shell would keep you [Em] _
unharmed.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around,
and [Am] snow in your hair, [Bm] now you're smiling at the wonder,
that crappy hotel over [Am] Washington Square.
_ [C] All the love comes out, white clouds mingles and [G] hangs in the air,
[F] speaking strictly for me, we both could have [G] died then and there.
_ [B] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now you're telling me, [C] you're not nostalgic,
[G] well give me another word for it,
[D] you were so good at words, and at [Em] keeping things vague.
Because I need some of that vagueness now, it's all [C] come back to clearly,
I [G] once loved you dearly, and if you're [D] offering me diamonds and rust,
well [Em] I'll take the diamond.
