Tom Waits - Rubys Arms

tom waits – ruby’s arms

F C/E E/G# Am
i will leave behind all of my clothes
F C/E Gsus4 G
i wore when i was with you
F C/E E/G# Am
all i need’s my railroad boots
F C/E Gsus4 G
and my leather jacket
F C/E E/G# Am
as i say goodbye to ruby’s arms
F C/E Gsus4 G
although my heart is breaking
F C/E E/G# Am
i will steal away out through your blinds
F C/E Gsus4 G
for soon you will be waking

G C A A/C# Dm
the morning light has washed your face
G G/B C Dm7 Gsus4 G
and everything is turning blue . . . now
G C A A/C# Dm
hold on to your pillow case
G G/B C Dm7 Gsus4 G
there’s nothing i can do . . . now

F C/E E/G# Am
as i say goodbye to ruby’s arms
F C/E Gsus4 G
you’ll find another soldier
F C/E E/G# Am
and i swear to god by christmas time
F C/E Gsus4 G
there’ll be someone else to hold you

G C A A/C# Dm
the only thing i’m ta – king is
G G/B C Dm7 Gsus4 G
the scarf off of your clothes . . . line
i’ll hurry past your chest of drawers
G G/B C Dm7 Gsus4 G
and your broken wind . . . chimes

F C/E E/G# Am
as i say goodbye , i’ll say goodbye
Dm7 Gsus7 G F C/E E/G# Am
say goodbye to ruby’s arms

F C/E E/G# Am
i will feel my way down the darkened hall
F C/E Gsus4 G
out into the morning
F C/E E/G# Am
the hoboes at the freightyards
F C/E Gsus4 G
have kept their fires burning
F C/E E/G# Am
so jesus christ , this goddamn rain
F C/E E/G# Am
will someone put me on a train
F C/E E/G# Am
i’ll never kiss your lips again
Dm7 Gsus4 G
or break your heart

F C/E E/G# Am
as i say goodbye i’ll say goodbye
Dm7 Gsus4 G F C/E E/G# Am
say goodbye to ruby’s arms
