I Give You...(drumroll)

Ruby's Arms (Tom Waits)

----------------------

F C E7 Am

I will leave behind all of my clothes

F C Dm7 G7

I wore when I was with you

F C E7 Am

All I need's my railroad boots

F C Dm7 G7

And my leather jacket

F C E7 Am

As I say goodbye to Ruby's Arms

F C Dm7 G7

Although my heart is breaking

F C E7 Am

I will steal away out through your blinds

F C Dm7 G7

For soon you will be waking

----

G C A Dm

The morning light has washed your face

G7 C Dm7 G7sus4 G7

And everything is turning blue now

G C A Dm

Hold on to your pillow case

G7 C Dm7 G7sus4 G7

There's nothing I can do now

-----

F C E7 Am

As I say goodbye to Ruby's Arms

F C Dm7 G7

You'll find another soldier

F C E7 Am

And I swear to God by christmas time

F C Dm7 G7

There'll be someone else to hold you

---

G C A Dm

The only thing I'm taking is

G7 C Dm7 G7sus4 G7

The scarf off of your clothes line

G C A Dm

I'll hurry past your chest of drawers

G7 C Dm7 G7sus4 G7

And your broken wind chimes

----

F C E7 Am

As I say goodbye, I'll say goodbye

Dm7 G7sus4 F C

Say goodbye to Ruby's Arms

---

|E7 Am|F C|Dm7 G7|

----

F C E7 Am

I will feel my way down the darkened hall

F C Dm7 G7

Out into the morning

F C E7 Am

The Hoboes at the freightyards

F C Dm7 G7

Have kept their fires burning

F C E7 Am

Jesus Christ this God damn rain

F C E7 Am

Will someone put me on a train

F C E7 Am

I'll never kiss your lips again

Dm7 G7sus4 G7

Or break your heart

F C E7 Am

As I say goodbye I'll say goodbye

Dm7 G7sus4 F C

Say goodbye to Ruby's Arms

|E7 Am|F C|Dm7 G7|C
