  Am         C   F          G        C
She would never say where she came from
 Am      C       F     C        G
Yesterday don't matter if it's done
  Am       D7      G
while the sun is bright
   Am      D7      G
or in the darkest night
         C                   G
no one knows, she comes and goes

Chorus:
          C    G    C
         Good-bye, Ruby Tuestday.
                   G      C
        Who could hang a name on you
          C        G           B    F
        When you change with ev'ry new day
          G            C      G
        Still I gonna miss you

Don't question why she needs to be so free
Tell you it's the only way to be
she just can't be chained
to a life where nothing gained
And nothing's lost
at such a cost

Chorus

There's no time to lose I heard her say
She'll cash your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
lose your dreams and you
will lose your mind
Ain't life unkind

Chorus
