Ruby Jean And Billie Lee

INTRO: D

Oh, Ruby Jean
                           G
Last night I dreamed I was running
            D
Somewhere beyond the stars
         Am
I called out to you
                 D
And you answered softly
            C          G/B   Gm/Bb  A
You are the children's eyes
    D
And I'm the days gone by



Oh, Ruby Jean
                       G
It doesn't seem like a long, long time
              D
Since we were born again
         Am
Into the dazzling light
                  D
Uniting black and white
            C          G/B   Gm/Bb  A
You are the rich brown earth
D
I'm the flowers that grow


CHORUS:
           G                      D
We'll have children (Lua), of the kingdom (Joshua)
              G
They won't be torn by war
              F                Eb          D
Nor will they kill or hate, or hesitate to love (Justice)



Oh, Billie Lee
                     G
It's destiny that we meet again
             D
Here on this earthly plain
                 Am
I'll see all the worlds with you
                   D
But you'll have to help me through
            C                   G/B   Gm/Bb  A
You are the straight and narrow path
    D
And I'm the wayfarer



Oh, Billie Lee
                        G
We shall be free in the years to come
                  D
To help build the promised land
                   Am
We'll go where the day springs run
            D
Forever and live as one
          C             G/B      Gm/Bb  A
He is the object of our longing
    D
And we're his creation


CHORUS:
           G                D
We'll have children, of the kingdom
              G
They won't be torn by war
              F                Eb          D
Nor will they kill or hate, or hesitate to love
