[Fm] [G] [C] [G] [C]
[G] [C] [G] [C]
[G] [C] Because [D] I'm preggy, [G] coming to the [C] bedroom wall
Having [D] a party next [G] door, but I'm sitting here [C] all alone
Two [D] lovers in the bedroom, [G] and the other starts [C] to shout
All I got [G] is backstair, [D] but I don't carry no crown at all
[G] [C] [G] Destination unknown, Rue de la Rue de [C] la Rue [G] de la Soul
Destination unknown, Rue [C] de la Rue de la Rue de la [G] [C] Soul
He's [D] singing, [G] and she's there to [C] lend a hand
He's [D] saying his name under [G] Marvy, but she'll never [Am]
[C] understand
Once again [D] he's leaving, [G] and she's there with a tear [C] in her eye
[G] Embraces little one, dressed in cherry [D] style, it's time to say [G] goodbye
[C] Destination [G] unknown, Rue de la Rue [C] de la Rue [G] de la Soul
[C] Destination [G] unknown, Rue de la Rue [Am] de la Rue de la [G] [C] Soul
[G]
[C] [G]
[C] Ruby's [D] heart ain't beating, [G] cause she knows the [Am] feeling's [C] wrong
She's [D] not the only one to [G] know that something [C] is wrong
Two [D] lovers in the distance, [G] and she wiped the tears [C] from her eyes
Ruby's [G] fading out, she disappeared [D] this time
It's time to say [G] goodbye, destination [C] [G] unknown
Destination unknown, Rue de la Rue [C] de la Rue [G] de la Soul
Destination unknown, Rue de la Rue [C] de la Rue de la [G] Soul
[C] [G] [C]
[G] [C] [G] [C]
[G] [C] Destination [G] unknown, Rue de la Rue [C] de la Rue [G] de la Soul
[C] Destination [G] unknown, Rue de la Rue de la Rue de la Soul
