Well I'll be damned And here I sit

Here comes your ghost again Hand on the telephone
G(sus24) G
But that's not unusual I'm hearing a voice I'd known

It's just that the moon is full A couple of light-years ago
Em court Em long
And you happened to call Heading straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes Ten years ago
Were bluer than robins' eggs I bought you some cuff-links
My poetry was lousy you said You bought me something
Where are you calling from? We both know what memories can bring
A booth in the Midwest They bring diamonds and rust
(montée intro) + Em f♯ e b x 2
You burst on the scene And there you stayed
Already a legend Temporarily lost at sea
The unwashed phenomenon The madonna was yours for free
The original vagabond The girl on the half-shell
You strayed into my arms Could keep you unharmed
Bm Am
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around and snow in your hair
Bm Am
Now you're smiling out of the window of that crummy hotel over Washington square
C G
Our breath comes out of white clouds mingles and hangs in the air
Fmaj7 G
Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then and there
B7 + (2e moitié intro) + Em f♯ e b x 2
Now you're telling me 'Cos I need some of that vagueness now
You're not nostalgic It's all come back too clearly
Then give me another word for it Yes I loved you dearly
You who are so good with words And if you're offering diamonds and rust
And keeping things vague I've already paid
Em f♯ e b x 8 w/ cordes
(fade out)
(Judas Priest: galopant, w/ refrain C5 D5 E5)
