D C# Bm
They say she came all the way from Dallas
F#m E D A
But I see more than Texas in the hard times on her face
D C# Bm
And every song she sings brings back a hundred thousand memories
D F#m A
Of another girl, another time, another place.
[Chorus]
G A D G
She does not have the body of the woman I once loved
D A D
But she's still the girl that I once idolized
D G A D
And I swear I see a little bit, of every girl I've known
C D C D
In the Loneliness of Ruby's Eyes, in the Loneliness of Ruby's Eyes.
D Bm
Kinfolks say she's had a lot of lovers
F#m E A
And love don't leave a woman filled with shame
D C# Bm
And I've heard tell she had a child in Dallas
F#m E A
And all the men in Houston know her name.
[Chorus]
C D C D
In the Loneliness of Ruby's Eyes, in the Loneliness of Ruby's Eyes.
