Well, hello, I don't know about you, but you can't beat the 60s.
Ruby Tuesday, Rolling Stones, possibly one of the best rock ballads of the [A] 60s.
[E] Melanie did a version.
[N] Let's look at the verse first.
The chords are not so difficult.
[Em] E minor, [G] G,
then C.
[C] Try to play C with your third finger on the bottom.
Bottom may sound [C] better.
[B]
D, [D] top four strings, [G] and then back to G.
First [Em] line.
[G] She would never [C]
say [D] where she [G] came from.
Okay, and then [Em] back to E minor.
And then [G] G, [C] C, [G]
G, [D] and then D.
[Em]
This [G] good day [C] don't matter [G] if it's [D] done.
And then we [Em] have one line that's repeated twice.
E minor, [A] A7, [D]
while [Em] [A] the sun is [D] bright, [Em] or in the darkest [D] night.
And then we go [G] into the last line, which goes to a [D] G and a D.
[G] No one knows, she comes [D] and goes.
[A] [Em] So let's look at the whole verse again before we do the chorus.
So just a nice gentle strum.
She [G] would never [C] say where [G] she came from.
Yesterday [C] don't matter [G] if it's [D] done.
[Em]
While the sun [D] is bright, [G] or [Db] in the darkest [D] night.
No [G] one knows, she comes and [D] goes.
And then to the chorus, which is a bit higher, [G] difficult to sing really, but
we start with a G, D, G.
So, [D] goodbye [G]
Ruby Tuesday, [D] who could [G] handle the name of you,
when [D] you change with [F] F.
[C] Every see new day, still [G] I'm gonna [D] miss you.
So the F, which I play as a [N] bar chord, you can play it with, just cover the two
strings and then play the top four [F] strings.
Or [Ab] you can try to bar it, it's the E shape, [G] moved up and [F] then barred.
[G] When will you [F] change with F, [C]
[D] still I'm [G] gonna miss [D] you.
And back into the next verse.
[Em] The [G] question why [C] she needs [Bm] to be [G] so free.
[Em] She'll tell [G] you it's the [C] only way [D] to be.
And so on.
[B]
And there are three verses, chorus of course, after every verse.
Repeat [Eb] the chorus twice at the end, and then to finish the song,
maybe you can go to [G] the first, very first line [E] again, like [Em] this.
She [G] would never say [D] that she came [G] from
[N] Something like that.
But we're gonna make a better show of it, I'm sure.
Best of luck, and until next time, bye.
