Tom: Em Em Well I'll be damned C Here comes your ghost again G But that's not unusual D Its just that the moon is full Em And you happened to call Em And here I sit C Hand on the telephone G I'm hearing a voice I'd known D A couple of light years ago Em Heading straight for a fall Em As I remember, C Your eyes were bluer than robins' eggs G My poetry was lousy you said D Where are you calling from? Em A booth in mid-west Em Ten years ago C I bought you some cuff-links G You bought me something D We both know what memories can bring Em They bring diamonds and rust Em You burst on the scene C Already a legend G The unwashed phenomenon D The original vagabond Em You strayed into my arms Em And there you stayed C Temporarily lost at sea G The Madonna was yours for free D The girl on the half-shell Em Could keep you unharmed Bm Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around Am And snow in your hair Bm Now you're smiling out of the window of that crummy hotel Am Over Washington square C Our breath comes out of white clouds G Mingles and hangs in the air F7M Speaking strictly for me G B7 We both could have died then and there Em Now your telling me C Your not nostalgic G Then give me another word for it D You who are so good with words Em And keeping things vague Em 'Cos I need some of that vagueness now C Its all come back too clearly G Yes I loved you dearly D And if you're offering diamonds and rust Em I've already paid
