Diamonds And Rust by Joan Baez - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Joan Baez Song List

Version 1 Version 2

            Capo 4

         Am
Well I'll be damned
                  F
Here comes your ghost again
           C
But that's not unusual
                    G
It's just that the moon is full
                        Am
And you happened to call

         Am                      F
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
                  C
Hearing a voice I'd known
                    G
A couple of light years ago
                        Am
Heading straight for a fall

         Am
As I remember your eyes
                  F
Were bluer than robin's eggs
                    C
"My poetry was lousy", you said
                    G
Where are you calling from?
                        Am
A booth in the Midwest

         Am
Ten years ago
                  F
I bought you some cuff links
                    C
You brought me something
                    G
And we both know what memories can bring
                               Am
They bring diamonds and rust

         Am
You burst on the scene
                  F
Already a legend
                    C
The unwashed phenomenon
                    G
The original vagabond
                            Am
You strayed into my arms

         Am
And there you stayed
                  F
Temporarily lost at sea
                    C
The Madonna was yours for free
                    G
Yes the girl on the half-shell
                            Am
Would keep you unharmed

        G
Now I see you standing with leaves falling around
                     F
An' snow in your hair
                G
Now you're smiling out the window
                                  F
Of that hotel over Washington Square
        Am
Our breath comes out white clouds
                        G
Mingles and hangs in the air
            Am
Speaking strictly for me
                                        G7
We both could have died then and there

         Am
Now you're telling me
                  F
You're not nostalgic
                    C
Then give me another word for it
                    G
You were always so good with words
                            Am
And at keeping things vague

         Am
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
                                  F
It's all coming back too clearly
                    C
Oh, loved you dearly
                              G
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
           Am
I've already paid...
