[Intro]
---------------------
Em | B7 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Em     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 hap pened to call

[Verse 2]
---------------------
    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
Heading straight for a fall

[Verse 3]
---------------------
   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
A booth in the midwest

[Verse 4]
---------------------
Em
  Ten years ago
                  C
I bought you some cufflinks
               G
You brought me something
                  D
We both know what mem'ries can bring
                        Em
They bring diamonds and rust

[Verse 5]
---------------------
B7 Em     Em
     Well you burst on the scene
          C
Already a legend
             G
The unwashed phenomenon
             D
The original vagabond
                    Em
You strayed into my arms

[Verse 6]
---------------------
    Em
And there you stayed
            C
Temporarily lost at sea
                G
The Madonna was yours for free
                    D
Yes the girl on the halfshell
                 Em
Would keep you unharmed

[Bridge]
---------------------
         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
         F
Speaking strictly for me
                                 G
We both could have died then and there
B7 Em           Em
     Now you're telling me

[Verse 7]
---------------------
             C
You're not nostalgic
                         G
Then give me another word for it
              D
You who are so good with words
                      Em
And at keeping things vague

[Verse 8]
---------------------
        Em
Because I need some of that vagueness now
                      C
It's all com back too clearly
                G
Yes I loved you dearl
                          D
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
              Em
I've al ready paid
