Ruby's Two Sad Daughters

(início)

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.
