Blackmore's Night – Diamonds And Rust (Guitar)

Dm
Well, I'll be damned

                Bb
Here comes your ghost again

                 F
But that's not unusual

                   C
It's just that the moon is full

                    Dm
And you happened to call

Dm
And here I sit

               Bb
My hand on the telephone

          F
Hearing a voice I'd known

            C
A couple of light years ago

                       Dm
Heading straight for a fall

Dm
As I remember your eyes

                Bb
Were bluer than robin's eggs

              F
My poetry was lousy you said

              C
Where are you calling from?

                Dm
A booth in the Midwest

Dm
Ten years ago

               Bb
I bought you some cufflinks

                      F
Oh, and you brought me something

                  C
We both know what memories can bring

N.C.                    Dm
They bring diamonds and rust

      Dm
Well, you burst on the scene

          Bb
Already a legend

                F
The unwashed phenomenon

             C
The original vagabond

                   Dm
You strayed into my arms

Dm
And there you stayed

            Bb
Temporarily lost at sea

                F
The Madonna was yours for free

                     C
Yes, the girl on the half-shell

                 Dm
Could keep you unharmed

      Am                                                        Gm
Now I see you standing with leaves falling around and snow in your hair

           Am                                                 Gm
Now you're smiling out the window of that hotel over Washington Square

    Bb                                                 F
Our breath comes out white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air

         Eb                                                F       A7
Speaking strictly for me, we both could have died then and there

    Dm
Now you're telling me

              Bb
You're not nostalgic

                           F
Well, then give me another word for it

                   C
You were always so good with words

                     Dm
And at keeping things vague

Dm
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now

                   Bb
It's all come back too clearly

               F
Oh, I loved you dearly

                      C
If you're offering me diamonds and rust

N.C.      Dm     Bb    F   C
I've already paid___

             Dm    Bb   F   C
Diamonds and rust

             Dm    Bb   F   C
Diamonds and rust

             Dm    Bb   F   C
Diamonds and rust
