Tone: [Fm]
Intro -x2-:
[Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
Well [Fm]I'll be damned[Fm]damned [Fm] [Fm]
Here comes your [Db]ghost again
But that's not un[Ab]unusual
It's just that the [Eb]moon is full
And you happened to [Fm]call [Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
And [Fm]here I sit [Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
Hand on the [Db]telephone
Hearing a [Ab]voice I'd known
a couple of [Eb]light years ago
Heading straight for a [Fm]fall [Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
As [Fm]I remember your eyes [Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
Were bluer than [Db]robin's eggs
My poetry was [Ab]lousy you said
Where are you [Eb]calling from?
a booth in the [Fm]Midwest [Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
[Fm]Ten years ago[Fm]ago [Fm] [Fm]
I bought you some [Db]cufflinks
You brought me [Ab]something
We both know what [Eb]memories can bring
They bring diamonds and [Fm]rust [Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
[Fm]Well you burst on the scene [Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
Already a [Db]legend
The unwashed phe[Ab]phenomenon
The original [Eb]vagabond
You strayed into my [Fm]arms [Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
And [Fm]there you stayed [Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
Temporarily [Db]lost at sea
The Madonna was [Ab]yours for free
Yes the girl on the [Eb]half-shell
Would keep you un[Fm]unharmed [Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
Now [Cm]I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your [Bbm]hair
Now [Cm]you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington [Bbm]Square
Our [Db]breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the [Ab]air
Speaking [Gbmaj7]strictly for me
We both could have died then and [Ab]there[C7]there
Interlude -x2-:
[Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
[Fm]Now you're telling me [Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
You're not nos[Db]nostalgic
Then give me another [Ab]word for it
You who are so [Eb]good with words
And at keeping things [Fm]vague[Fm]vague [Fm] [Fm]
[Fm]Because I need some of
that vagueness now [Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
It's all come back too [Db]clearly
Yes I loved you [Ab]dearly
And if you're offering me [Eb]diamonds and rust
I've already [Fm]paid
Outro -x4-:
[Fm] [Fm] [Fm]
