"Ruby Tuesday"(Jagger/Richards)
Released as a Double A-side single
with LET'S SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER
on January 13, 1967.
As with many early stones tunes, this one is
"in the cracks", slightly sharp of standard.
[verse 1]:
Am G F G Csus4 C Csus4 C
She would never say where she came from
Am G F C Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
Am D/F# G
While the sun is bright
Am D/F# G
Or in the darkest night
Csus4 C Csus4 C
No one knows
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
She comes and goes
[Chorus]:
C G C
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday,
C G C
Who could hang a name on you?
C G Bb F
When you change with every new day
G C G
Still I'm gonna miss you!
[verse 2]:
Am G F G Csus4 C Csus4 C
Don't question why she needs to be so free
Am G F C Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
Am D/F# G
She just can't be chained
Am D/F# G
to a life where nothing's gained
Csus4 C Csus4 C
And nothing's lost
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
At such a cost...
[Chorus]:
C G C
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
C G C
Who could hang a name on you?
C G Bb F
When you change with every new day
G C G
Still I'm gonna miss you!
[verse 3]:
Am G F G Csus4 C Csus4 C
There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Am G F C Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
catch your dreams before they slip away
Am D/F# G
Dying all the time
Am D/F# G
Lose your dreams and you
Csus4 C Csus4 C
will lose your mind.
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Ain't life unkind?
[Chorus]:
C G C
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
C G C
Who could hang a name on you?
C G Bb F
When you change with every new day
G C G
Still I'm gonna miss you
C G C
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
C G C
Who could hang a name on you?
C G Bb F
When you change with every new day
G C G
Still I'm gonna miss you!
