Ruby's arms - Tom Waits

[G] [D] [F#7] [Bm] [G] [D] [A7][A7]

I will [G] leave be[D]hind all [F#7] of my [Bm] clothes
I [G] wore when [D] I was w[A7]ith you
[G] All I [D]need's my r[F#7]ailroad b[Bm]oots
[G] And my [D] leather j[A7]acket
As I [G] say good[D]bye to R[F#7]uby's [Bm]Arms
Al[G]though my [D]heart is [A7]breaking
I will [G]steal a[D]way out [F#7]through your [Bm]blinds
For [G] soon you [D] will be [A7]waking

The [A7]morning [D] light has [B7]washed your [Em]face
[A7] And every[D]thing is turning [Em7] blue [A]now
[A7]Hold on [D] to yo[B7]ur pillow c[Em]ase
There's [A7] nothing [D]I can [Em]do n[A]ow
As I [G]say good[D]bye to [F#7]Ruby's [Bm]Arms
You'll [G]find a[D]nother [A]soldier
And I [G]swear to [D]God by [F#7]christmas [Bm]time
There'll be [G]someone [D]else to [A]hold you
The [A]only [D]thing I'm [B7]taking [Em]is
The [A]scarf off [D]of your [Em]clothes [A]line
I'll [A]hurry [D]past your [B7]chest of d[Em]rawers
[A] And your [D]broken [Em]wind [A]chimes

As I [G] say good[D]bye, I'll [F#7]say good[Bm]bye
Say good[Em]bye to [A]Ruby's [G]Arms

I will feel my way down the darkened hall
Out into the morning
The Hoboes at the freightyards
Have kept their fires burning
Jesus Christ this God damn rain
Will someone put me on a train
I'll never kiss your lips again
Or break your heart
As I say goodbye I'll say goodbye
Say goodbye to Ruby's Arms
