Ruby by The Dave Rawlings Machine
Verse 1:
[A]Ruby, [C#m]let down your golden hair
When I'm [D]standing at the [Dm]bottom of your stairs
[A]Ruby, [C#m]I can see your TV on
But the [D]people there, they [Dm]flicker and they're gone
Bridge:
So [D]let down your golden hair for me [A]tonight
[D]Let down your golden hair for me to [E]climb
Chorus:
Just like an [A]old-time telegraph [D]man
[A]I came here with a simple job to [E]do
'Cause that [A]news coming down the wire
[D]Says that your [Dm]head's on fire
And I'm [A]trying to get a m[E]essage thr-[D]ough to [A]you
Ruby, you ain't lonely yet
With your crystal and your Russian cigarette
Ruby, haven't you heard before?
What good?s finest tower when it hasn't got a door?
So let down your golden hair for me to climb
Let down your golden hair for me tonight
Just like an old-time telegraph man
I came here with a simple job to do
'Cause that news coming down the wire
Says that your bed's on fire
And I'm trying to get a message through to you
Ruby
I'm that old-time telegraph man
And I came here with a simple job to do
'Cause that news coming down the wire
Says that your world's on fire
And I'm trying to get a message through to you
I'm that old-time telegraph man
And I came here with a simple job to do
'Cause that news coming down the wire
Says that your world's on fire
And I'm trying to get a message through to you
