       x2
[Verse 1]
C        D      G                         C
Echoes of reggae comin' through my bedroom wall
        D                   G                     C
Havin' a party next door but I'm sittin here all alone
                 D               G               C
Two lovers in the bedroom and the other starts to shout
                 G               D
All I got is this blank stare and that don't carry no clout at all
[Chorus]
G          C  G                    C      G
Destination unknown, Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
           C  G                    C      G
Destination unknown, Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
[Verse 2]
C          D   G                     C
He's singin and she's there to lend a hand
             D                       G                 C
He's seen his name on the marquee but she'll never understand
               D                 G                        C
Once again he's leavin' and she's there with a tear in her eye
               G                 D
Embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye
[Chorus]
G          C  G                    C      G
Destination unknown, Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
           C  G                    C      G
Destination unknown, Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

[Verse 3]
C                 D                 G                  C
Ruby's heart ain't beating cause she knows the feelin's gone
             D                      G            C
She's not the only one who know that something is wrong
                 D                G                     C
Two lovers in the distance and she wipes a tear from her eye
             G                         D
Ruby's fading out, she disappears, it's time, time to say goodbye
[Chorus]
G          C  G                    C      G
Destination unknown, Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

Destination unknown, Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
