       "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!
