Ruby's Arms           (Tom Waits)
----------------------

       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 christmas time
            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
Say goodbye     to Ruby's Arms
---
|E7  Am|F  C|Dm7  G7|

----
       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 freightyards
     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 I'll say goodbye
    Dm7        G7sus4 F     C
Say goodbye to Ruby's Arms
