Tom: E5

E5    
Well I'll be damned
                C5
Here comes your ghost again
                G5
But that's not unusual
                  D5
Its just that the moon is full
                    E5 
And you happened to call
    E5
And here I sit
            C5
Hand on the telephone
                G5
I'm hearing a voice I'd known
            D5 
A couple of light years ago
                       E5
Heading straight for a fall


E5 
As I remember,
                C5
Your eyes were bluer than robins' eggs
                G5
My poetry was lousy you said
                  D5
Where are you calling from?
               E5 
A booth in mid-west
    E5 
Ten years ago 
                C5
I bought you some cuff-links
                G5
You bought me something
                  D5
We both know what memories can bring
                    E5 
They bring diamonds and rust


E5 
You burst on the scene
          C5
Already a legend
                G5
The unwashed phenomenon
              D5
The original vagabond
                    E5 
You strayed into my arms
    E5 
And there you stayed
                C5
Temporarily lost at sea
                G5
The Madonna was yours for free
                  D5
The girl on the half-shell
                 E5 
Could keep you unharmed


      B5 
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around
                 A5
And snow in your hair
     B5
Now you're smiling out of the window of that crummy hotel
                A5
Over Washington square
      C5
Our breath comes out of white clouds
                         G5
Mingles and hangs in the air
        F5
Speaking strictly for me
                                 G5     B5
We both could have died then and there


E5 
Now your telling me 
            C5
Your not nostalgic
                G5
Then give me another word for it
                      D5
You who are so good with words
                E5 
And keeping things vague
      E5 
'Cos I need some of that vagueness now
                C5
Its all come back too clearly
             G5
Yes I loved you dearly
                            D5
And if you're offering diamonds and rust
           E5 
I've already paid
