Intro Am Em C G F# (2x)

verse 1 
Am              Em                 C       G F# 
I met Ruby on a bus from state to state 
Am            
She was tired 
    Em 
I was timid 
         C    G F# 
It was late 
Am                   Em                C   G F# 
She was to marry her southland sweetheart 
Am             Em 
bitter-sweet I am 
         C               G F# 
when it comes to young love 
Am                Em                  C   G F# 
James was a well-known man around town 
Am                    Em 
He sold houses to the masses 
        C                  G F# 
in the state of Burley Down 
      Am              Em             C                   G F# 
And I saw him leaving slowly with a young man at his hip 
Am                Em 
Where did my love go? 
            C               G F# 
He was the sailor of my ship

verse 2 
Am           Em                     C G F# 
And Jimmy was the best she ever had 
Am                Em            
When you think you cannot breath 
C                         G   F# 
and you know you'd rather die instead 
Am                       Em 
That's when you know you have to go, 
C                     G   F# 
and he knew he had to leave 
Am                  Em 
So in the state of where you are 
C 
roll up the windows 
        G        F#       Am Em C G F# 
saying drive an old blue car 
Am                         Em 
Ruby does he hold you like 

he held me so 
C                         
After, does he rub your back 
     G       F# 
and sing ya slow? 
Am                       Em 
Take ya to highest high and 
        C   G F# 
lowest low? 
    Am   Em         C      G F# 
Oh, Ruby, I don't think so 
Am                Em                  C   G F# 
James was a well-known man around town 
Am                    Em 
He sold houses to the masses 
        C                  G F# 
in the state of Burley Down 
      Am              Em             C                   G F# 
And I saw him leaving slowly with a young man at his hip
