Pat Green - Ruby's Two Sad Daughters guitar chord

Verse 1:

D G

When the sun hits it right on its way down

D A

It was the prettiest thing in our little town.

D G

Every hour I'd sneak a glance over at the plastic frame

D A D

and cracked glass that holds the picture of Ruby's two sad daughters.

D G

Last mill closed when I was nine and Daddy left and Momma cried again,

D A D

I spent my nights cleaning Ruby's floors, just another cafe

G D A

on a wind swept highway the farmers bitched, we're no good at football anymore.

Chorus 1:

G D

In this land that knows no laughter

Bm A

In this land that holds no water,

D G A D G D A

we were all in love with Ruby's two sad daughters.

Verse 2:

D G

One went way out west, one went way wrong,

D A

One left at seventeen and the other couldn't wait that long.

D G

Neither went anywhere with me, not to the games or the Dairy Queen.

D A

Both split with the first boy who lied sweet and looked vaguely mean.

Chorus 2:

G D

In this land that knows no laughter

Bm A

In this land that hold no water,

D G A D

We were all in love with Ruby's two sad daughters.

Bridge:

Bm A Bm A

Why so pretty and forlorn? Why so permanently blue?

D G A D G D A

I guess ours wasn't much of a kingdom to rule.

Verse 3:

D G

Now when the sun hits its right on its way down,

D A

It's still the prettiest thing in our little town.

D G

Every hour I sneak a glance over at the plastic frame

A D

and I fix the glass that holds the picture of Ruby's two sad daughters.

G A D

Why did hope leave town with Ruby's two sad daughters?

Repeat D G until end of song.

enjoy :)
