I will F leave be C hind all E7 of my c Am lothes
I F wore when C I was w Dm7 ith yo G7 u
F All I C need's my E7 railroad Am boots
F And my C leather Dm7 jacket G7
As I F say good C bye to E7 Ruby's Am Arms
Al F though my C heart is Dm7 breaking G7
I will F steal C away out E7 through your Am blinds
For F soon you C will be Dm7 waking G7
---- The G morning C light has A washed your Dm face
And G7 everythi C ng is turning b Dm7 lue G7sus4 now G7
G Hold on C to your A pillow Dm case
There's G7 nothing C I can Dm7 do G7sus4 now G7
----- As I F say good C bye to E7 Ruby's Am Arms
You'll F find a C nother Dm7 soldier G7
And I F swear to C God by E7 christmas Am time
There'll be F someone C else to Dm7 hold you G7
--- The G only C thing I'm A taking Dm is
The G7 scarf off C of your Dm7 clothes G7sus4 line G7
I'll G hurry C past your A chest of Dm drawers
A G7 nd your C broken Dm7 wind G7sus4 chimes G7
---- As I F say C goodbye, I'll E7 say Am goodbye
Say Dm7 goodbye to G7sus4 Ruby's A F rms C
--- |E7 Am|F C|Dm7 G7|
---- I will F feel my C way down the E7 darkened Am hall
F Out in C to the Dm7 morning G7
The F Hoboes C at the E7 freight Am yards
Have F kept their C fires Dm7 burning G7
F Jesus C Christ this E7 God damn Am rain
Will F someone C put me E7 on a Am train
I'll F never C kiss your E7 lips Am again
Or Dm7 break your G7sus4 heart G7
As I F say good C bye I'll E7 say Am goodbye
Say Dm7 goodbye to G7sus4 Ruby's F Arms C
