"Rubies"


F
Dueling cyclones jackknife
         G
They got eyes for your wife
        C                       F
and the blood that lives in her heart


FM7          G            FM7            G

FM7
Cast myself towards infinity - Trust me, I had my reasons
G
  Had a dress for every season, it was worth it
FM7
Pulled into town relatively free of hassle - I
G
  Secured a room at the castle, it paid for itself
FM7
Checked out my surroundings, headed down to Thornton Park
G
  Find your way, discover that things are dark
FM7
Shadowy figures babbling on about typical bullshit
       G
I wave bye to them in a modern way
                                        C*       Am*
and increase my stay at the dock of the   bay

(same as first)

Quiet, Ruby, someone's coming
Approach with stealth
Oh, it's just your precious American Underground
and it is born of wealth
With not a writer in the lot
Sapphires vie for your attention
She dances they mean well in their way
The Priest says "Please, I can't stand my knees
And I can't bear her raven tresses caught up in the breeze like that!"

C*         Am*          C*          Am*

FM7        G            FM7         G
FM7        G            FM7         G


(same as first)
Thats it doctor, do your worst
Cut me open, remove this thirst
Hidden, but near
A series of visions, I won't repeat them here
I won't repeat them here


C*         Am*          C*          Am*


        FM7         G
Typical me, typical me
FM7                   G
   I gave my cargo to the sea
           FM7
I gave the water what it always wanted to

C       Am                 C
be      Ahhhhhhh  Ahhhh Ah Ah  AhAh
Am
Ahhhhhhh  Ahhhh Ah Ah

"Look to the West!
    G                              FM7                      G
Ah, look, it's no contest" - Proud Mary said as she lit the fuse
  FM7                       G
I wanted you. I wanted your blues
FM7   G     C*      Am*
 -    Yo-ur Blues

C*     Am*


FM7                   G
"All good things must come to an end
    FM7                    G
The bad ones just go on forever"
      FM7
Isn't that what I just said?
      G
It is Now and it is Never
      FM7
It is Now and it is Never
      G
It is Now and it is Never
      C
It is Now and it is Never

Am         C
Ahhhhhhh  Ahhhh Ah Ah  AhAh
Am
Ahhhhhhh  Ahhhh Ah Ah

(then fingerpick something like this:

B----1------1------1-----1---1----3------3------3-----3---3---|

and when the lyrics come back in it the same chords but in half
the time)

      FM7                         G
Don't worry about her, she's been known to appreciate
    FM7                  G      FM7                  G
the elegance of an empty room - Look I made you this broom
            FM7                G
A predicate warning to the sun - this Night advances

Am!     Am$     C!    C7!     (see Below)
on...


    Am!  Am$  C!   C7!

    FM7
The sketchy crowd shows me drawings, they're alright
   G
An alternately dim and frightful waste
    FM7
Now come on honey let's go outside
       G
You disrupt the world's disorder just by virtue of your grace, you know
 FM7                 G  FM7     G
 -  I didn't want to go  -  but leave I must...
   FM7
As gratifying as this dust was

C!     C7!
Am!     Am$     C!    C7!
Am!     Am$     C!    C7!

F                         G
Please don't wake me from this - my golden slumber -
     F
I am proud to be a part of this number!

C!     C7!
Am!     Am$     C!    C7!
Am!     Am$     C!    C7!
