[Ab] [Db]
[Dbm]
[Ab]
Ruby, [Cm] let down your [Ab] golden hair, for [Db] I'm standing at [E] the bottom [Ab] of [Dbm] your [Ab] scale.
Ruby,
[Cm] I can see your TV on, but [Db] the people who read, [Dbm] they [Ab] flicker when they're gone.
So [Db] let down your golden [Cm]
hair for [Bbm] me [Ab] tonight, let down your golden [Cm]
hair for [Bbm] me to [Eb] climb.
[Ab] Just like an old [Bbm] time [Ab] telegraph [Db] man, [Ab] but I came here with a simple job [Eb] to do.
Cause [Ab] that news coming [Gb]
down [Ab] the wire [Db] said that your head's on [Ab] fire, and I'm trying to [Eb] get a message [Db] through to [Ab] you.
Ruby,
[Cm] you ain't lonely yet [Db] with your priesthood, and [E] your Russian [Ab] [E] cigarette.
[Ab] But Ruby,
[Cm] haven't you heard before, what good's [Db] the finest time when it [Dbm] hasn't got a [Ab] door?
So [Db] let down your golden [Ab]
[Bbm] hair for me to [Ab] climb, [Db] let down your golden [Ab]
hair for [Bbm] me [Eb] tonight.
Just [Ab] like an old [Bbm] time [Ab] telegraph [Db] man, [Ab] but I came here with a simple [Eb] job to do.
Cause [Ab] that news coming [Gb]
down [Ab] the wire [Db] said that your bed's on [Ab] fire, and I'm trying to [Eb] get a message [Db] through to [Ab] you.
[Cm]
[Ab] [Db]

I'm that old [Bb] time [Ab] telegraph [Db] man, [Ab] and I came here with a simple job to [Eb] do.
Cause [Ab] that news coming [Gb]
down [Ab] the wire [Db] said that your wheels on fire, [Ab] and I'm trying to [Eb] get a message [Db] through to [Ab] you.
[Cm]
[Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [E] [Ab]
I'm that old [Bbm] time [Db] telegraph man,
[Ab] and I came here with a simple job [Eb] to [Ab] do.
[Eb]
[Ab] Cause that news coming [Ebm]
down the wire [Db] said that your world's on [Fm] fire, [Ab] and I'm trying to get [Eb] a message [Ab] [Db] through to [Ab] you.
Yeah, that news coming [Gb]
down the [Ab] wire [Db] said that your world's on fire, [Ab] and I'm trying [Eb] to get a message [Db] through to [Ab]
you.
