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
