Rubys Two Sad Daughters

D                             G
When the sun hits it right on its 
way down
D                                 
It was the prettiest thing in our 
        A
little town.
D                                 
Every hour I'd sneak a glance over
         G
 at the plastic frame
and cracked glass that holds the 
 D                 A       D
picture of Ruby's two sad daughters.
D                                 
Last mill closed when I was nine 
     G
and Daddy left and Momma cried 
again,
D                                 
I spent my nights cleaning Ruby's 
  A      D
floors, just another cafe
      G                       D   
on a wind swept highway the 
                              A
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      
we were all in love with Ruby's 
A       D        G  D  A
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                                 
Neither went anywhere with me, not
         G
 to the games or the Dairy Queen.
D                                 
Both split with the first boy who 
      A
lied sweet and looked vaguely mean.

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

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

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