C 'Round and 'round and we won't let go And where we stop no one knows Uh-huh uh-huh Down and down in a spin we turn Looking like we'll never learn Uh-huh uh-huh Dm Think about A# what ev’ryone is saying Dm A# Ruby dear, oh don’t you hear Dm Late at night A# when the radio is playing Dm Ruby dear A# So looky here Chorus: C A# Oh this record’s broken It slips a beat And all those watermelons Have gone to seed Nothing lives in this dirty little river No one here will shed a tear It dried up but it couldn't run forever Ruby dear, that's what we hear Chorus: I still like the ocean Down by the sea They left that door wide open It tempted me Hounding me from the bedroom to the kitchen Ruby dear, I'm still right here Now they've thrown the fox amongst the chickens It's too deep, I'll drown in my sleep Chorus: Angels and prostitutes They might look the same And if to hell we're going I'll see you there 'Round and 'round and we won't let go And where we stop no one knows Uh-huh uh-huh Down the street where the bonfires glow Looking like they lost control Uh-huh uh-huh Settle down in that rocking chair Breathing in that rotten air Uh-huh uh-huh Johnny Jones fell fast asleep Down a hole where the rocks are steep Uh-huh uh-huh You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  Dm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
