[N] [A] Ruby, let [C#m] down your golden hair
[D] Where I'm standing at the [F] bottom of your stairs
[A]
Ruby, I can [C#m] see your TV all
But the [D] people there, they [F] flicker and they're gone
So [D] let down your golden [A] hair for me tonight
[D] Let down your golden [A] hair for me [E] to climb
Just [A] like an old time telegraph [D]
man
[A] I came here with a simple job to [E] do
Cause that [A]
news coming down the wire [D] says
That your head's on fire [A] and I'm trying to [E] get a message
Through [D] to [A] you
Ruby, [C#m] you ain't lonely yet
With your [D] crystal and your [F] Russian cigarette
[A]
Ruby,
[C#m] haven't you heard before
What gives the [D] finest tile when [F] it hasn't got a door
[D] So let down your golden hair [A] for me to climb
[D] Let down your golden hair [A] for me [E] tonight
Just like an [A] old time [Bm]
[D] telegraph man
[A] I came here with a simple job to [E]
do
Cause that [A] news coming down the [D] wire says
That your bed's on fire and [A] I'm trying [E] to get a message
Through [D] to [A] you

Through [D] to you
