Intro: D  
  
Oh, Ruby Jean 
                           G 
Last night I dreamed I was running 
            D 
Somewhere beyond the stars 
         Am 
I called out to you 
                 D 
And you answered softly 
            C          G     A 
You are the children's eyes 
    D 
And I'm the days gone by 
  
  
  
Oh, Ruby Jean 
                       G 
It doesn't seem like a long, long time 
              D 
Since we were born again 
         Am 
Into the dazzling light 
                  D 
Uniting black and white 
            C          G       A 
You are the rich brown earth 
D 
I'm the flowers that grow 
  
  
Chorus: 
           G                      D 
We'll have children (Lua), of the kingdom (Joshua) 
              G 
They won't be torn by war 
              F                Eb          D 
Nor will they kill or hate, or hesitate to love (Justice) 
  
  
  
Oh, Billie Lee 
                     G 
It's destiny that we meet again 
             D 
Here on this earthly plain 
                 Am 
I'll see all the worlds with you 
                   D 
But you'll have to help me through 
            C                   G     A 
You are the straight and narrow path 
    D 
And I'm the wayfarer 
  
  
  
Oh, Billie Lee 
                        G 
We shall be free in the years to come 
                  D 
To help build the promised land 
                   Am 
We'll go where the day springs run 
            D 
Forever and live as one 
          C             G        A 
He is the object of our longing 
    D 
And we're his creation 
  
  
Chorus: 
           G                D 
We'll have children, of the kingdom 
              G 
They won't be torn by war 
              F                Eb          D 
Nor will they kill or hate, or hesitate to love
