Ruby's Arms - chords, tab and comments
At the bottom you'll find a link to the complete lyrics.
The best song of leaving ever written, in my humble opinion. Yell it out, and never mind the rhythm ... it's floating 4/4. Have some Salvation Army horns playing in your brain and a couple of beer next to you. Shit, how a nasty experience can result in good songs.From the 1980 album "Heartattack and Wine", Waits' last release on Asylum. Jean-Luc Godard used this song in his 1983 film "First Name: Carmen".
