Ruby by The Dave Rawlings Machine
Verse 1:
A C#m
Ruby, let down your golden hair
D Dm
When I'm standing at the bottom of your stairs
A C#m
Ruby, I can see your TV on
D Dm
But the people there, they flicker and they're gone
Bridge:
D A
So let down your golden hair for me tonight
D E
Let down your golden hair for me to climb
Chorus:
A D
Just like an old-time telegraph man
A E
I came here with a simple job to do
A
'Cause that news coming down the wire
D Dm
Says that your head's on fire
A E D A
And I'm trying to get a message thr-ough to 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
