Diamonds And Rust
Joan Baez
Em Em/Gb Em Em Em/Gb Em
Well EmI'll be damnedEm
Em/Gb Em
Here comes your Cghost again
But that's not Gunusual
It's just that the Dmoon is full
And you happened to EmcallEm
Em/Gb Em
And Emhere I sitEm
Em/Gb Em
Hand on the Ctelephone
Hearing a Gvoice I'd known
A couple of Dlight years ago
Heading straight for a EmfallEm
Em/Gb Em
Heading straight for a EmfallEm
Em/Gb Em
As EmI remember your eyesEm
Em/Gb Em
Were bluer than Crobin's eggs
My poetry was Glousy you said
Where are you Dcalling from?
A booth in the EmMidwestEm
Em/Gb Em
A booth in the EmMidwestEm
Em/Gb Em
EmTen years agoEm
Em/Gb Em
I bought you some Ccufflinks
You brought me Gsomething
We both know what Dmemories can bring
They bring diamonds and EmrustEm
Em/Gb Em
They bring diamonds and EmrustEm
Em/Gb Em
EmWell you burst on the sceneEm
Em/Gb Em
Already a Clegend
The unwashed pheGnomenon
The original Dvagabond
You strayed into my EmarmsEm
Em/Gb Em
And Emthere you stayedEm
Em/Gb Em
Temporarily Clost at sea
The Madonna was Gyours for free
Yes the girl on the Dhalf-shell
Would keep you EmunharmedEm
Em/Gb Em
Now HmI see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your Amhair
Now Hmyou'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 Fmaj7strictly for me
We both could have died then and GthereH7
Em Em/Gb Em Em Em/Gb Em
EmNow you're telling meEm
Em/Gb Em
You're not nosCtalgic
Then give me another Gword for it
You who are so Dgood with words
And at keeping things EmvagueEm
Em/Gb Em
EmBecause I need some of that vagueness nowEm
Em/Gb Em
It's all come back too Cclearly
Yes I loved you Gdearly
And if you're offering me Ddiamonds and rust
I've already Empaid
