Ruby's Two Sad Daughters Chords

  			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 :)
