G/B           F/A               Em/G
You've been asleep for a hundred seconds
        F#dim            F/G
Now the whole world has changed
           D13          G
There's no home on the range
             C
For Rip Van Ruben
G/B           F/A               Em/G
You've been asleep for a hundred minutes
           F#dim          F/G
Now you've woke and she's gone
      D13                G

Sits Rip Van Ruben

 /    /  /    /  /     /   /
F#/A#   F#/C#   F#/D# F#
Don't let it get   you down
 /    /   /    /   /    /  /  /
F#/A#    F#/C#    F#/D#   F#
Hop on a tram and go up   town
         Dmaj7
Watch a silent film
         Aadd2    E/A    Em/A   F#7sus
See the biplanes fly bye bye
F#/A#      F#/C#   F#/D# F#
Everything new and up -  side down
F#/A#        F#/C#             F#/D#    F#
Pinching yourself through your dressing gown
      Dmaj7
Won't bring her back
          Aadd2    E/A      Em/A   F#7sus
But your bruise is real and black

 D        G/C
Jump into bed and dream her
Bb9            G/C  D  G/C  Bb9  G/C
back where she was
  D                  G/C
Dream your Frank L. Richards and this is the
 Bb9          G/C  D  G/C  Bb9  G/C
great Land of Oz
E7#5
When your alarm clock goes off
         Fm6               G
You will find that she has too!


Rip Van Ruben
You've been asleep for a hundred seconds
Now your whole world's turned round
And the house makes an empty sound for
Rip Van Ruben

Don't let it freak you out
You'll find another girl no doubt
And someday soon
Maybe man will reach the moon
Jump into bed and dream her back where she belongs
When all the past evaporates
You will find that she has too

Rip Van Ruben
You've been asleep for a hundred seconds
Now you've woke and she's gone
Instant desserts just for one
Rip Van Ruben
