Ruby Tuesday

Words & Music:

Mick Jagger & Keith Richard

 

Dm              C         Bb       C7   F

She would never say where she came from.

Dm    C         Bb             C

Yesterday don't matter if it's gone.

Dm7       G7     C         Dm7    G7      C7            F

While the sun is bright or in the darkest night, no one knows.

F             C

She comes and goes.

 

CHORUS:

F   C7   F                       C7     F

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?

F        C7          F7    Bb

When you change with every new day.

C7              F    C  Csus4

Still I'm gonna miss you.

 

Don't question why she needs to be so free.

She'll tell you it's the only way to be.

She just can't be chained

To a life where nothing's gained & nothing's lost

At such a cost.

 

CHORUS

 

"There's no time to lose."  I need her say.

Catch your dreams before they slip away.

Dying all the time.

Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind.

Ain't life unkind?

 

CHORUS

 

Dm   C   BbM7   C7   Fsus4   F
