She would never say   where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows    she comes and goes
Chorus:
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still Im gonna miss you
Don't question why she needs   to be so free
Shell tell you it's the only  way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothings gained
And nothings lost   at such a cost
Repeat Chorus
There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you   will lose your mind
Aint life unkind?
Repeat Chorus x2

Ruby Tuesday

by Rolling Stones

Lyrics & chords · Original key

She would never say where she came from

Yesterday don't matter if it's gone

While the sun is bright

Or in the darkest night

No one knows she comes and goes

Chorus:

Goodbye, ruby tuesday

Who could hang a name on you?

When you change with every new day

Still Im gonna miss you

Don't question why she needs to be so free

Shell tell you it's the only way to be

She just can't be chained

To a life where nothings gained

And nothings lost at such a cost

Repeat Chorus

There's no time to lose, I heard her say

Catch your dreams before they slip away

Dying all the time

Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind

Aint life unkind?

Repeat Chorus x2
