A C#m D Dm
Ruby, let down your golden hair, when I’m standing at the bottom of your stairs
A C#m D Dm
Ruby, I can see your TV on, But the people there they flicker and they’re gone
D A D E
So let down your golden hair for me tonight, Let down your golden hair for me to climb
[Chorus]
A D A E
Just like an old-time telegraph man, I came here with a simple job to do

Cause that news coming down the wire says that your head’s on fire

And I'm trying to get a message through to you
