Diamonds And Rust
Joan Baez
Em Em/Gb Em Em Em/Gb Em
Well EmI'll be damnedEmEm/GbEm
Here comes your Cghost again
But that's not Gunusual
It's just that the Dmoon is full
And you happened to EmcallEmEm/GbEm
And Emhere I sitEmEm/GbEm
Hand on the Ctelephone
Hearing a Gvoice I'd known
A couple of Dlight years ago
Heading straight for a EmfallEmEm/GbEm
Heading straight for a EmfallEmEm/GbEm
As EmI remember your eyesEmEm/GbEm
Were bluer than Crobin's eggs
My poetry was Glousy you said
Where are you Dcalling from?
A booth in the EmMidwestEmEm/GbEm
A booth in the EmMidwestEmEm/GbEm
EmTen years agoEmEm/GbEm
I bought you some Ccufflinks
You brought me Gsomething
We both know what Dmemories can bring
They bring diamonds and EmrustEmEm/GbEm
They bring diamonds and EmrustEmEm/GbEm
EmWell you burst on the sceneEmEm/GbEm
Already a Clegend
The unwashed pheGnomenon
The original Dvagabond
You strayed into my EmarmsEmEm/GbEm
And Emthere you stayedEmEm/GbEm
Temporarily Clost at sea
The Madonna was Gyours for free
Yes the girl on the Dhalf-shell
Would keep you EmunharmedEmEm/GbEm
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 meEmEm/GbEm
You're not nosCtalgic
Then give me another Gword for it
You who are so Dgood with words
And at keeping things EmvagueEmEm/GbEm
EmBecause I need some of that vagueness nowEmEm/GbEm
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
