Capo first fret Em Em/Gb Em Em Em/Gb Em Em Em Em/Gb* 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 Em/Gb* Em And you happened to call Em Em Em/Gb* 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/Gb* Em 2x Heading straight for a fall Em Em Em/Gb* 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/Gb* Em 2x A booth in the Midwest Em Em Em/Gb* 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/Gb* Em 2x They bring diamonds and rust Em Em Em/Gb* Em Well you burst on the scene C Already a legend G The unwashed phenomenon D The original vagabond Em Em/Gb* Em You strayed into my arms Em Em Em/Gb* Em And there you stayed C Temporarily lost at sea G The Madonna was yours for free D Yes the girl on the half-shell Em Em Em/Gb* Em 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 Em Em/Gb Em Em Em/Gb Em
Em Em Em/Gb* Em Now you're telling me C You're not nostalgic G Then give me another word for it D You who are so good with words Em Em Em/Gb* Em And at keeping things vague Em Em Em/Gb* Em Because I need some of that vagueness now C It's all come back too clearly G Yes I loved you dearly D And if you're offering me diamonds and rust Em I've already paid Em Em/Gb Em Em Em/Gb Em Em Em/Gb Em Em Em/Gb Em
