Diamonds and Rust chords
Joan Baez

Capo I

E minorEm Em/Gb E minorEm 2x *

   E minorEm       Em/Gb E minorEm
Well I'll be damned
        C majorC
Here comes your ghost again
         G+G
But that's not unusual
          D MajorD
It's just that the moon is full
          E minorEm Em/Gb E minorEm
And you happened to call

  E minorEm     Em/Gb E minorEm
And here I sit
      C majorC
Hand on the telephone
     G+G
Hearing a voice I'd known
      D MajorD
A augmentedA couple of light years ago
            E minorEm  E minorEm Em/Gb E minorEm 2x
Heading straight for a fall

  E minorEm          E minorEm Em/Gb E minorEm
As I remember your eyes
        C majorC
Were bluer than robin's eggs
       G+G
My poetry was lousy you said
       D MajorD
Where are you calling from?
        E minorEm   E minorEm Em/Gb E minorEm 2x
A augmentedA booth in the Midwest

E minorEm      E minorEm Em/Gb E minorEm
Ten years ago
         C majorC
I bought you some cufflinks
        G+G
You brought me something
         D MajorD
We both know what memories can bring
            E minorEm E minorEm Em/Gb E minorEm 2x
They bring diamonds and rust

Well you burst on the scene
Already a 🏷Legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed

  B minorBm
Now I see you standing

With brown leaves falling around
         A minorAm
And snow in your hair
  B minorBm
Now you're smiling out the window

Of that crummy hotel
        A minorAm
Over Washington Square
  C majorC
Our breath comes out white clouds
             G+G
Mingles and hangs in the air
     Fmaj7Fmaj7
Speaking strictly for me
                 G+G  B7B7
We both could have died then and there

Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid

E minorEm Em/Gb E minorEm 4x

* To form Em/Gb: form E minorEm then add high E MajorE string, same fret

Set8
