A booth in mid-west Ten years ago I bought you some cuff-links You bought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust You burst on the scene Already a legend The unwashed phenomenon The original vagabond You strayed into my arms And there you stayed Temporarily lost at sea The madonna was yours for free The girl on the half-shell 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 Fmaj7 Speaking strictly for me G B7 We both could have died then and there Now your telling me Your not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You who are so good with words And keeping things vague 'Cos I need some of that vagueness now Its all come back too clearly Yes I loved you dearly And if you're offering diamonds and rust I've already paid ----------------------****-------------------------------- The picking sequence for the opening bar is as follows, repeated - slide up 2 frets, D string, to get base sequence.
