All Dressed Up With Nowhere To Go

INTRO: G  D  C    Em  D  C

    G
The sign says, "Families Welcome"
       C               G
At the Oaks Retirement Home
                  C                     D       C  D
But mostly no one comes 'cept on the weekends


     G               C
Ruby Wilson lives in 303
      D                      Em
Where she spends most of her time
         C              D
But it's almost noon on Sunday
           C                          D
She's been sitting in the lobby since nine


CHORUS:
      Em  D       C
She's all dressed up
   Em       D       G
In her best hat and gloves
      Em  D       C    ~
She's all dressed up
      Am                        D              Bm
She's watching and waiting, but nobody comes
                   C
Some days sure are lonely days
    G                C     D
And time can move so slow
            Em  D       C    D
When you're all dressed up
                G   D   C    Em   D   C
With nowhere to go


        G
As Ruby watches all the others
        C              G
Leaving with their families
                          C                 D       C  D
The nurse tells her, it's time to come to dinner


         G               C         D
She says she's expecting company
                     Em
They're just running late
        C               D
But the nurse knows the truth too well
         C                D
She just sighs and walks away


CHORUS:
      Em  D       C
She's all dressed up
   Em       D       G
In her best hat and gloves
      Em  D       C    ~
She's all dressed up
      Am                        D              Bm
She's watching and waiting, but nobody comes
                   C
Some days sure are lonely days
    G                C     D
And time can move so slow
            Em  D       C    D
When you're all dressed up
                G   D   C
With nowhere to go
        Em        D   C
Oh, nowhere to go
