RUBY'S ARMS TOM WAITS 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 ...
