Full Song
Verse 1
A
Well I’ll be damned
D A
Here comes your ghost again
E
But that’s not unusual
A
It’s just that the moon is full
D
And you happened to call
A
And here I sit
E
Hand on the telephone
A
Hearing a voice I’d known
D
A couple of light years ago
A E
Heading straight for a fall
Verse 2
A D
As I remember your eyes
A
Were bluer than robin’s eggs
E
My poetry was lousy you said
A
Where are you calling from?
D A
A booth in the midwest
E
Ten years ago
A
I bought you some cufflinks
D
You brought me something
A E
We both know what memories can bring
A D
They bring diamonds and rust
Chorus
A
Well you burst on the scene
D
Already a legend
A
The unwashed phenomenon
E
The original vagabond
A
You strayed into my arms
D
And there you stayed
A
Temporarily lost at sea
E
The Madonna was yours for free
A
Yes the girl on the half-shell
D A
Would keep you unharmed
Verse 3
A
Now I see you standing
D A
With brown leaves falling all around
E
And snow in your hair
A
Now you’re smiling out the window
D
Of that crummy hotel
A
Over Washington Square
E
Our breath comes out white clouds
A
Mingles and hangs in the air
D
Speaking strictly for me
A E
We both could have died then and there
Chorus
A
Now you’re telling me
D
You’re not nostalgic
A
Then give me another word for it
E
You who are so good with words
A
And at keeping things vague
D
’Cause I need some of that vagueness now
A
It’s all come back too clearly
E
Yes I loved you dearly
A D A
And if you’re offering me diamonds and rust
E
I’ve already paid
Bridge
D A
Diamonds and rust
D A
Diamonds and rust
Verse 4
A
Well I’ll be damned
D A
Here comes your ghost again
E
But that’s not unusual
A
It’s just that the moon is full
