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
