Verso 1:

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
And you decided to call

    Em
And here I sit
            C
Hand on the telephone
              G
I’m hearing a voice I’d known
            D
A couple of light years ago
                       Em
Heading straight for a fall

Refrão 1:

   C                            D
We both known what memories can bring
                        Em
They bring diamonds and rust   (2x)

      Bm
Now I see standing with brown leaves falling all around
                 Am
And snow in your hair
           Bm
Now you’re smiling out of the window of that crummy hotel
                Am
Over Washington square
    C
Our breath comes out of white clouds
                         G
Mingles and hangs in the air
         Fmaj7
Speaking stricity for me
                                 B7   G A Em
We both could have died then and there

Verso 2:

Em
Now your telling me
         C
Your not nostalgic
             G
Then give me another word for it
               D
You who are so good with words
                   Em
And keeping things vague

 Em
'Cos 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 diamonds and rust
             Em
I’ve already paid

Refrão 1:

   C                            D
We both known what memories can bring
                        Em
They bring diamonds and rust   (2x)

Refrão 2:

C         D            Em
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
