Verse 1:D G When the sun hits it right on its way downD A It was the prettiest thing in our little town.D G Every hour I'd sneak a glance over at the plastic frameD 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 cafeG 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 laughterBm A In this land that holds no water,Continues after the adD 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 laughterBm 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 frameA 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.
