Dave Rawlings Machine - Ruby

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

....D..................................................A

So let down your golden hair for me tonight

D....................................................E

Let down your golden hair for me to climb

.................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 through to you

Ruby, you ain't lonely yet
With your crystal and your Russian cigarette
Ruby, haven't you heard before?
Working is the 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

Frontier Folk Nebraska - Rummage Sale

G...........................Em

she sways with the wind

C...............G

curls in her hair

G...................Em

flowers on her dress

......C......................G

that ramble with the light

the sun hits the shadows

she dances to the traffic

noises in the background

floating in thin air

..............Bm..................G

and she's praised in the daylight

.............Bm....................C

and she's honored by the night

.......G

true love

............D

is in her eyes

............C

scripted from

.............G

the neon lights

she's a beauty

in disguise

she's a diamond

in the rough

she bought all her love

at a rummage sale

spent all her money

on a heart that will never fail

cover all the loose ends

dusted off the dirt

lay still in her pocket

that rummaged love

and she's praised in the daylight

and she's honored by the night

true love

is in her eyes

scripted from

the neon lights

she's a beauty

in disguise

she's a diamond

in the rough

when I woke up today

G................D...........G

I was feeling ok

............A

but my mind started turning

A

as my breakfast was burning

.....Em

my soul slipped away

.........................D

to a red evening sky

G..........................D

and a lover's sweet sigh

G......................D..........G.......Em

and a wink of an eye

.........................D...........G

and a wink of an eye

just try not to think

cause it will drive you to drink

but I cannot forget

all the things that you said

when we was

flying to high

hung out to dry

and a wink of your eye

and a wink of your eye

what more can I say

why should I even try

after reading your letter

I don't know whether

to laugh or cry

or just say goodbye

just say goodbye

with a wink in my eye

with a wink in my eye

Austin Lucas - Shoulders

Capo II

Em

someone had stolen me

.......C

and choked the life I crave

.......G

on a pale horse he did ride

.......D

and sing my songs

I touched then and feared

that the dark woods spread indeed

and leave hollow shells of friends

and strangers all

......F.......C................G

but still I bore the gift of life

D

somehow

and you'd asked me if my breast

was filled with embers or with ash

was hope or despair

upon my crown

and mother sweet mother don't you

worry on your son

for my heart contains a fire

that shall burn long

.................C...........D

and I shall lay my head

..........G........G/F#.......Em

in the valley with my friends

.....C...........................D

I'll quit my scheming ways

.............Em

and rest again

....................C...........D

cause I shall lay my head

..........G.............G/F#......Em

on the shoulders of great men

......C.................D.................G.....C......D

and live my life until its honest end

and so brick by brick I tell myself

slowly build a home

anchor now before

the storm rolls on

find a new Jerusalem

and build your willing wall

see not the sea and life

wondering alone

oh yes lay your head

in the valley with your friends

oh quit your scheming ways

and rest again

oh yes lay your head

on the shoulders of great men

and live your life until

its honest end

oh yes lay your head

on the shoulders of great men

and live your life until

its honest end
