Rubies Lyrics

Dueling cyclones jackknife
They got eyes for your wife
and the blood that lives in her heart
M7 M7
2nd guitar:
B-------3--5-----3~~~~~~~-----3--5------------|
G--3P5--------5----------3P5--------5~~~~~~~--|
M7
Cast myself towards infinity - Trust me, I had my reasons
Had a dress for every season, it was worth it
M7
Pulled into town relatively free of hassle - I
Secured a room at the castle, it paid for itself
M7
Checked out my surroundings, headed down to Thornton Park
Find your way, discover that things are dark
M7
Shadowy figures babbling on about typical bullshit
I wave bye to them in a modern way
and increase my stay at the dock of the bay
B--------5--6--8~~~~~~~~------5--6--5~~~~6--5~~~~-----|
G--5--7-----------------5--7---------------------7p5--|
(same as first)
Quiet, Ruby, someone's coming
Approach with stealth
Oh, it's just your precious American Underground
and it is born of wealth
With not a writer in the lot
Sapphires vie for your attention
She dances they mean well in their way
The Priest says "Please, I can't stand my knees
And I can't bear her raven tresses caught up in the breeze like that!"
(same as first)
Thats it doctor, do your worst
Cut me open, remove this thirst
Hidden, but near
A series of visions, I won't repeat them here
I won't repeat them here
M7
Typical me, typical me
M7
I gave my cargo to the sea
M7
I gave the water what it always wanted to
be Ahhhhhhh Ahhhh Ah Ah AhAh
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhh Ah Ah
M7
"Look to the West!
M7
Ah, look, it's no contest" - Proud Mary said as she lit the fuse
M7
I wanted you. I wanted your blues
- Yo-ur Blues
M7
"All good things must come to an end
M7
The bad ones just go on forever"
M7
Isn't that what I just said?
It is Now and it is Never
M7
It is Now and it is Never
It is Now and it is Never
It is Now and it is Never
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhh Ah Ah AhAh
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhh Ah Ah

(then fingerpick something like this:
and when the lyrics come back in it the same chords but in half
the time)
M7
Don't worry about her, she's been known to appreciate
M7 M7
the elegance of an empty room - Look I made you this broom
M7
A predicate warning to the sun - this Night advances
Am! Am$ C! C7! (see Below)
on...
Am! Am$ C! C7!
M7
The sketchy crowd shows me drawings, they're alright
An alternately dim and frightful waste
M7
Now come on honey let's go outside
You disrupt the world's disorder just by virtue of your grace, you know
M7 M7
- I didn't want to go - but leave I must...
M7
As gratifying as this dust was
C! C7!
Am! Am$ C! C7!
Am! Am$ C! C7!
Please don't wake me from this - my golden slumber -
I am proud to be a part of this number!
C! C7!
Am! Am$ C! C7!
Am! Am$ C! C7!
