Ruby's Arms

F       C      E7    Am

F       C      Dm7   G7

       F       C        E7     Am

I will leave behind all of my clothes

  F         C      Dm7   G7

I wore when I was with you

F     C         E7       Am

All I need's my railroad boots

F      C       Dm7    G7

And my leather jacket

     F       C      E7     Am

As I say goodbye to Ruby's arms

  F         C        Dm7     G7

Although my heart is breaking

       F     C        E7           Am

I will steal away out through your blinds

    F        C       Dm7     G7

For soon you will be waking

    G       C         A           Dm

The morning light has washed your face

    G7      C              Dm7 ... G7sus4    G7

And everything is turning blue ... now

G       C       A      Dm

Hold on to your pillow case

        G7      C     Dm7   G7sus4    G7

There's nothing I can do ... now

     F       C      E7     Am

As I say goodbye to Ruby's Arms

       F     C      Dm7      G7

You'll find another soldier

      F        C      E7       Am

And I swear to God by Christmastime

            F       C       Dm7       G7

There'll be someone else to hold you

    G    C         A      Dm

The only thing I'm taking is

    G7        C       Dm7         G7sus4  G7

The scarf off of your clothes ... line

     G     C         A        Dm

I'll hurry past your chest-of-drawers

 G7      C      Dm7      G7sus4   G7

And your broken wind ... chimes

     F   C             E7  Am

As I say goodbye, I'll say goodbye

    Dm7            G7sus4  F     C  E7  Am  F  C  Dm7  G7

Say goodbye     to Ruby's Arms

       F       C            E7       Am

I will feel my way down the darkened hall

F     C      Dm7      G7

Out into the morning

    F      C      E7      Am

The Hoboes at the freight yards

     F          C     Dm7      G7

Have kept their fires burning

F     C           E7       Am

Jesus Christ this God damn rain

     F       C      E7   Am

Will someone put me on a train

     F     C         E7   Am

I'll never kiss your lips again

   Dm7        G7sus4   G7

Or break ... your heart

     F       C           E7  Am

As I say goodbye ... I'll say goodbye

    Dm7           G7sus4 F     C   E7  Am  F  C  Dm7  G7  C

Say goodbye ...to Ruby's Arms
