"Ruth Marie" by Mark Kozelek transcribed by Jérémie Grisolia (contact: jgrisolia@free.fr) Here's my transcription of "Ruth Marie" from Mark Kozelek on "Rock'&'roll singer". I put the chords on the lyrics and I think they are right close to what plays Mark on this beautiful song. But he also plays a lot of riffs along the song which are difficult to transcribe above the lyrics like: D|--2.----------------| A|-----4-2-4-2-0----| D|--0-2-0------------| A|----------4-2-0----| Capot 7th fret: [A]I grew so [Bm]old In that [D]house I lived in[A] [A]They brought me [Bm]here 'Cause [D]I can't take care[A] [A]I lost my [Bm]worth And my [D]purpose here[A] [A]I feel you [Bm]cry But [D]I can't speak my mind[A] [A]Will you hold [Bm]me And [D]never let me go[A] [A]'Cause I [Bm]hate it when you [D]walk outside that door[A] [A]'Cause I [Bm]know I won't [D]ever see your eyes[A] [A]The eyes I gave [Bm]you [D] [A] [A]When my eyes [Bm]shut They'll [D]take me to the land[A] [A]For fiftie years [Bm]I lived [D]there with my man[A] [A]And on my [Bm]own I [D]lived for fortie more[A] [A]I watched you grow [Bm]up [D]From babies on the [A]floor "Break" same progression as above A, Bm, D, A [A]To the beautiful [Bm]women [D]that you are[A] [A]And I hated [Bm]that you've [D]gone away so far[A] [A]Cause I know [Bm]I won't [D]ever see those eyes[A] [A]The eyes I gave [Bm]you [D] [A] [A]The evenings [Bm]fall They'll [D]drag me out the hall[A] [A]Up to my [Bm]bunk and [D]drug me 'til I'm numb[A] [A]But pass the [Bm]haze [D]I see your pretty face[A] [A]Remember [Bm]me when [D]I'm gone[A] [A]You know I love [Bm]you Though [D]I can hardly say[A] [A]And I hate it [Bm]when you see [D]me in this way[A] [A]But in [Bm]darkness [D]I'll always see those eyes[A] [A]The eyes I gave [Bm]you [D] [A]
