Ruby's Two Sad Daughters Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Gsus2][D]
[Dsus2][D][A][Asus4][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
When the sun hits [D]it
right on its [Gsus2]way down
[D]It was the prettiest thing [Asus4]in
our little [A]town.[Asus4][A][D]
Every hour I'd sneak a glance over
[Gsus2]at the plastic frame cracked gl[D]ass
That held the picture of Ruby's
[A]two sad daughter[D]s.

[Verse 2]
The last mill closed when I was nine, [G]And
daddy [Gsus2]left,
And momma cried, [D]again.
I spent my nights cleaning
[A]Ruby's [D]floors.

[Verse 3]
Just another cafe [G]On a wind
swept [Gsus2]highway.
And the farm[D]ers bitched,
We're no good at foot[A]ball
[G]anymore.

[Verse 4]
In this land that knows no [D]laughter,
[Bm]
And this land that holds no [A]water,[D]
We were all in love
With [Gsus2]Ruby's tw[G]o s[A]ad
[D]daughters.
[G][D][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
One went way [G]out west,
[Gsus2]One went way [D]wrong.
One left at seventeen,
And the oth[A]er couldn't
wait that [D]long.
Neither went anywhere with me.
Not to the [G]games [Gsus2]or the Dairy
[D]Queen.
They split with the first boy
who lied [A]sweet
[Asus4]And looke[A]d vaguely mean.[G]

[Verse 6]
In this land that knows no [D]laughter,
[Bm]
And this land that holds no [A]water,[D]
We were all in love
With [Gsus2]Ruby's tw[G]o[Asus4]
[A]sad [D]daughters.[Bm]
But why so pretty and forlorn?
[A]Why[D] so[A][Bm]
[A]permanently [D]blue?
I guess ours wasn't much
Of a [G]king[A]dom to [D]rule[G][Gsus2]
[D][Asus4][A][D]
Now when the sun hits it right
on [Gsus2]its way d[D]own,
It's still the prettiest thing
in our little town.
[A]

[Verse 7]
[D]
Every hour I sneak a glance over
[G]at the plastic frame
And cracked glass that held the [D]picture
of Ruby's [A]two sad daugh[D]ters.
Why did hope leave town [G]with Ruby's [Asus4]two sad d[A]aughters?[D]
