https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamonds_%26_Rust_(song) Capo I ** Em Em/Gb* Em 2x
     Em            Em  Em/Gb* Em  
Well I'll be damned

                C
Here comes your ghost again

                 G
But that's not unusual

                   D
It's just that the moon is full

                    Em   Em  Em/Gb Em  
And you happened to call

    Em         Em  Em/Gb Em  
And here I sit

            C
Hand on the telephone

          G
Hearing a voice I'd known

            D
A couple of light years ago

                       Em   Em  Em/Gb Em  2x 
Heading straight for a fall

   Em                   Em  Em/Gb Em  
As I remember your eyes

                C
Were bluer than robin's eggs

              G
My poetry was lousy you said

              D
Where are you calling from?

               Em      Em  Em/Gb Em  2x
A booth in the Midwest

Em           Em  Em/Gb Em  
Ten years ago

                  C
I bought you some cufflinks

               G
You brought me something

                  D
We both know what memories can bring

                        Em   Em  Em/Gb Em  2x
They bring diamonds and rust

Em                          Em  Em/Gb Em  
Well you burst on the scene

          C
Already a legend

                G
The unwashed phenomenon

             D        
The original vagabond

                    Em   Em  Em/Gb Em  
You strayed into my arms

    Em               Em  Em/Gb Em  
And there you stayed

            C
Temporarily lost at sea

                G
The Madonna was yours for free

                    D            
Yes the girl on the half-shell

                 Em     Em  Em/Gb Em  
Would keep you unharmed

    Bm
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
                 Am
And snow in your hair

    Bm
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
                Am
Over Washington Square

    C
Our breath comes out white clouds

                         G
Mingles and hangs in the air

         Fmaj7
Speaking strictly for me

                                 G    B7
We both could have died then and there
Em Em/Gb Em 2x
Em                    Em  Em/Gb Em  
Now you're telling me

              C
You're not nostalgic

                     G
Then give me another word for it

               D
You who are so good with words

                      Em   Em  Em/Gb Em  
And at keeping things vague

Em                                        Em  Em/Gb Em  
Because I need some of that vagueness now

                       C
It's all come back too clearly

                G
Yes I loved you dearly

                          D
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust

             Em
I've already paid
Em Em/Gb Em 4x * To form Em/Gb: form Em then add high E string, same fret Note: You could also just pick the high e string (2nd fret) for emphasis
