Judy Collins - Diamonds And Rust
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Well, I'll be damned
Here comes your Cghost again
But that's not unGusual
It's just that the Dmoon is full
And you happened to Emcall
[Verse 2]
And here I sit
Hand on the Ctelephone
Hearing a Gvoice I'd known
A couple of Dlight years ago
Heading straight Emfor a fall
[Verse 3]
As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than Crobin's eggs
My poetry was Glousy, you said
"Where are you Dcalling from?"
"A booth in the EmMidwest"
[Verse 4]
Four years ago
I bought you some Ccufflinks
You brought me Gsomething
We both know what Dmemories can bring
They bring diamonds and Emrust
[Verse 5]
Well, you burst on the scene
Already a Clegend
The unwashed Gphenomenon
The original Dvagabond
You strayed into my Emarms
[Verse 6]
And there you stayed
Temporarily Clost at sea
The Madonna was Gyours for free
Yes, the girl on the Dhalf-shell
Could keep you unEmharmed
[Bridge]
Now I Bmsee you standing with brown leaves falling around
And Dsnow in your hair
Now you're Bmsmiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel over DWashington Square
Our Cbreath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the Gair
Speaking Fstrictly for me
We both could have died Gthen and therB7e___Em__
[Verse 7]
Now you're telling me
You're not nosCtalgic
Then give me another Gword for it
You who are so Dgood with words
And at keeping things Emvague
[Verse 8]
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all coming Cback too clearly
Yes, I once lGoved you dearly
And if you're offering me Ddiamonds and rust
I've already Empaid___

Judy Collins - Diamonds And Rust

CAPO: 2nd Fret

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Well, I'll be damned

Here comes your ghost again

But that's not unusual

It's just that the moon is full

And you happened to call

[Verse 2]

And here I sit

Hand on the telephone

Hearing a voice I'd known

A couple of light years ago

Heading straight for a fall

[Verse 3]

As I remember your eyes

Were bluer than robin's eggs

My poetry was lousy, you said

"Where are you calling from?"

"A booth in the Midwest"

[Verse 4]

Four years ago

I bought you some cufflinks

You brought me something

We both know what memories can bring

They bring diamonds and rust

[Verse 5]

Well, you burst on the scene

Already a legend

The unwashed phenomenon

The original vagabond

You strayed into my arms

[Verse 6]

And there you stayed

Temporarily lost at sea

The Madonna was yours for free

Yes, the girl on the half-shell

Could keep you unharmed

[Bridge]

Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling around

And snow in your hair

Now you're smiling out the window

Of that crummy hotel over Washington Square

Our breath comes out white clouds

Mingles and hangs in the air

Speaking strictly for me

G B7 Em

We both could have died then and there_____

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

'Cause I need some of that vagueness now

It's all coming back too clearly

Yes, I once loved you dearly

And if you're offering me diamonds and rust

I've already paid___
