Rubys Two Sad Daughters chords by Pat Green

Chords with lyrics

By Walt Wilkins

Verse 1:
D MajorD               G+G
When the sun hits it right on its way down
D MajorD                     A augmentedA
It was the prettiest thing in our little town.
D MajorD                     G+G
Every hour I'd sneak a glance over at the plastic frame
                 D MajorD         A augmentedA    D MajorD
and cracked glass that holds the picture of Ruby's two sad daughters.
D MajorD                   G+G
Last mill closed when I was nine and Daddy left and Momma cried again,
D MajorD                  A augmentedA   D MajorD
I spent my nights cleaning Ruby's floors, just another cafe
   G+G            D MajorD                 A augmentedA
on a wind swept highway the farmers bitched, we're no good at football anymore.

Chorus 1:
G+G              D MajorD
In this land that knows no laughter
B minorBm             A augmentedA
In this land that holds no water,
D MajorD             G+G   A augmentedA    D MajorD    G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
we were all in love with Ruby's two sad daughters.

Verse 2:
D MajorD           G+G
One went way out west, one went way wrong,
D MajorD               A augmentedA
One left at seventeen and the other couldn't wait that long.
D MajorD                     G+G
Neither went anywhere with me, not to the games or the Dairy Queen.
D MajorD                    A augmentedA
Both split with the first boy who lied sweet and looked vaguely mean.

Chorus 2:
G+G              D MajorD
In this land that knows no laughter
B minorBm             A augmentedA
In this land that holds no water,
D MajorD             G+G   A augmentedA    D MajorD
We were all in love with Ruby's two sad daughters.

Bridge:
B minorBm         A augmentedA    B minorBm         A augmentedA
Why so pretty and forlorn? Why so permanently blue?
D MajorD               G+G  A augmentedA   D MajorD  G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
I guess ours wasn't much of a kingdom to rule.

Verse 3:
D MajorD           G+G
Now when the sun hits its right on its way down,
D MajorD                       A augmentedA
It's still the prettiest thing in our little town.
D MajorD                    G+G
Every hour I sneak a glance over at the plastic frame
                           A augmentedA    D MajorD
and I fix the glass that holds the picture of Ruby's two sad daughters.
               G+G   A augmentedA    D MajorD
