	  		F       C      E7    Am 
 
F       C      Dm7   G7 
 
 
 
       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 Christmastime 
 
            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  E7  Am  F  C  Dm7  G7 
 
Say goodbye     to Ruby's Arms 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
       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 freight yards 
 
     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   E7  Am  F  C  Dm7  G7  C 
 
Say goodbye ...to Ruby's Arms
