[G]
Oh Ruby Jean, last night I dreamed I was running somewhere beyond the stars.
[Am] I called out to you, and you [D] answered softly,
[G] You [C] are the
[G] children's [Gm] eyes, [D] and [G] the days gone by.
Oh Ruby Jean, [D]
it doesn't seem like [G] a long, long time
Since we [D] were born again, into [Am] the dazzling light,
[D] Uniting black and white.
You [C] are the rich [G] brown [Gm] earth, [A] [D] and the flowers that grow.
[G] We'll have children [D] of the kingdom,
They [G] won't be torn by war, nor will [C] they kill or [F] [Eb] hate or hesitate [D] to love [G] justice.
[D]
Oh Billie Lee, it's destiny [G] that we meet again,
Here [D] on this earthly plane.
I'll see all [Am] the worlds with you,
But you'll [D] have to help me through.
You [C] are the straight [G] and narrow [Gm] path, [A] [D] I'm the wayfarer.
Oh Billie Lee, we shall be free in [G] the years to come,
To help build [D] the promised land.
We'll go [Am] where the day springs run, forever [D] and live as one.
He [C] is the object [G] of our [Gm] longing, [A] [D] we're his creation.
[Gbm] [G] We'll have children of [D] the [A] kingdom,
[D] They [G] won't be torn by war, nor will [C] they kill or [Eb] hate or hesitate [D] to love justice.
