Diamonds and Rust chords
Joan Baez

Capo I

Em  Em/Gb Em  2x *

     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/Gb Em
And you happened to call
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
    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


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

    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

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

Em  Em/Gb Em  4x

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

Set8
