Blackmore's Night - Diamonds and rust

^DmWell, I'll be damned Here comes your ^Bbghost again But that's not un^Fusual It's just that the ^Cmoon is full And you happened to ^Dmcall

^DmAnd here I sit My hand on the ^Bbtelephone Hearing a ^Fvoice I'd known A couple of ^Clight years ago Heading straight for a ^Dmfall

^DmAs I remember your eyes Were bluer than ^Bbrobin's eggs My poetry was ^Flousy you said Where are you ^Ccalling from? A booth in the M^Dmidwest

^DmTen years ago I bought you so^Bbme cufflinks Oh, and you brought me^F something We both know what ^Cmemories can bring N.C. Dm They bring diamonds and rust

Well, ^Dmyou burst on the scene Already a ^Bblegend The unwashed phe^Fnomenon The original ^Cvagabond You strayed into my^Dm arms

^DmAnd there you stayed Temporarily ^Bblost at sea The Madonna was ^Fyours for free Yes, the girl on the ^Chalf-shell Could keep you un^Dmharmed

Now I ^Amsee you standing with leaves falling around and snow in yo^Gmur hair Now you're ^Amsmiling out the window of that hotel over Washingto^Gmn Square Our ^Bbbreath comes out white clouds, mingles and hangs in^F the air Speaking ^Gmstrictly for me, we both could have died then and ^Fthere ^A7

Now ^Dmyou're telling me You're not nos^Bbtalgic Well, then give me another ^Fword for it You were always so ^Cgood with words And at keeping things^Dm vague

^Dm'Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back ^Bbtoo clearly Oh, I loved you^F dearly If you're offering me ^Cdiamonds and rust

N.C.
