Diamonds And Rust chords by Joan Baez

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Capo 4

     A minorAm
Well I'll be damned
         FF
Here comes your ghost again
      C majorC
But that's not unusual
          G+G
It's just that the moon is full
            A minorAm
And you happened to call

     A minorAm           FF
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
         C majorC
Hearing a voice I'd known
          G+G
A augmentedA couple of light years ago
            A minorAm
Heading straight for a fall

     A minorAm
As I remember your eyes
         FF
Were bluer than robin's eggs
          C majorC
"My poetry was lousy", you said
          G+G
Where are you calling from?
            A minorAm
A augmentedA booth in the Midwest

     A minorAm
Ten years ago
         FF
I bought you some cuff links
          C majorC
You brought me something
          G+G
And we both know what memories can bring
                A minorAm
They bring diamonds and rust

     A minorAm
You burst on the scene
         FF
Already a 🏷Legend
          C majorC
The unwashed phenomenon
          G+G
The original vagabond
              A minorAm
You strayed into my arms

     A minorAm
And there you stayed
         FF
Temporarily lost at sea
          C majorC
The Madonna was yours for free
          G+G
Yes the girl on the half-shell
              A minorAm
Would keep you unharmed

    G+G
Now I see you standing with leaves falling around
           FF
An' snow in your hair
        G+G
Now you're smiling out the window
                 FF
Of that hotel over Washington Square
    A minorAm
Our breath comes out white clouds
            G+G
Mingles and hangs in the air
      A minorAm
Speaking strictly for me
                    G7G7
We both could have died then and there

     A minorAm
Now you're telling me
         FF
You're not nostalgic
          C majorC
Then give me another word for it
          G+G
You were always so good with words
              A minorAm
And at keeping things vague

     A minorAm
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
                 FF
It's all coming back too clearly
          C majorC
Oh, loved you dearly
               G+G
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
      A minorAm
I've already paid...
