Introdução:
D G
When the sun hits it right on its way down
D A
It was the prettiest thing in our little town.
D G
Every hour I'd sneak a glance over at the plastic frame
D A D
and cracked glass that holds the picture of Ruby's two sad daughters.
D G
Last mill closed when I was nine and Daddy left and Momma cried again,
D A D
I spent my nights cleaning Ruby's floors, just another cafe
G D A
on a wind swept highway the farmers bitched, we're no good at football anymore.
G D
In this land that knows no laughter
Bm A
In this land that holds no water,
D G A D G D A
we were all in love with Ruby's two sad daughters.
D G
One went way out west, one went way wrong,
D A
One left at seventeen and the other couldn't wait that long.
D G
Neither went anywhere with me, not to the games or the Dairy Queen.
D A
Both split with the first boy who lied sweet and looked vaguely mean.

In this land that knows no laughter
Bm A
In this land that hold no water,
D G A D
We were all in love with Ruby's two sad daughters.
Bm A Bm A
Why so pretty and forlorn? Why so permanently blue?
D G A D G D A
I guess ours wasn't much of a kingdom to rule.
D G
Now when the sun hits its right on its way down,
D A
It's still the prettiest thing in our little town.
D G
Every hour I sneak a glance over at the plastic frame
A D
and I fix the glass that holds the picture of Ruby's two sad daughters.
G A D
Why did hope leave town with Ruby's two sad daughters?
