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
