[INSTRUMENTAL VERSE]
[Chorus]
A D
Just like an old-time telegraph man,
A E
I came here with a simple job to do
A
Cause that news coming down the wire
D Dm
says that your head's on fire
A E D A
And I'm trying to get a message through to you
[Verse 1]
A C#m
Ruby, let down your golden hair, when I'm
D Dm
standing at the bottom of your stairs
A C#m
Ruby, I can see your TV on, But the
D Dm
people there they flicker and they're gone
D A
So let down your golden hair for me tonight,
D E
Let down your golden hair for me to climb
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
A C#m
Ruby, you ain't lonely yet With your
D Dm
crystal and your Russian cigarette
A C#m
Ruby, haven't you heard before, what good's
D Dm
finest tower when it hasn't got a door?
D A
So let down your golden hair for me to climb,
D E
Let down your golden hair for me tonight
[Chorus]
A D
Just like an old-time telegraph man,
A E
I came here with a simple job to do
A
Cause that news coming down the wire
D Dm
says that your bed's on fire
A E
And I'm trying to get a message
D A
through to you
