diamonds and rust chords

joan baez

capo i

Em Em/F# Em 2x *

Em Em/F# 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/F# Em

and you happened to call

Em Em/F# 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/F# Em 2x

heading straight for a fall

Em Em Em/F# 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/F# Em 2

xa booth in the midwest

Em Em Em/F# 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/F# Em 2

xthey 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/F# Em 4

x * to form Em/F# : form Em then add high E string , same fret

set8
