Ruby Brown Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Em][G][D][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]She
danced in the [D]dirty streets
[G]Satin shoes tied to [D]her feet
[Bm]People 'round here said[D]
she was a [G]sight

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Every night when the sun w[D]ent down
She'd [G]curtsey and [D]take a bow
To the [Bm]man in the moon
[D]and the dim str[G]eet lights

[Verse 3]
[A]We held in high regard
[Em]The rose in the mission yard
Singing, [G]"Buffalo Gals won't you
come out tonight"

[Verse 4]
And her [D]name was [Em]Ruby [G]Brown
And she [D]came through [Em]shanty [G]town
Like a [Em]queen [D]without a [G]crown
And [D]her name was [Em]Ruby
Brown
[G][D][Em][G]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Long about ten years[D] ago
[G]She disappeared, why no [D]one [G]knows
[Bm]But some say she was
[D]running for her [G]life

[Verse 6]
'Cause a [A]mean looking
man in a limousine
[Em]Came down from New Orleans
He said he [G]came here looking for his wife

[Verse 7]
And her [D]name was [Em]Ruby [G]Brown
And she [D]came through [Em]shanty [G]town
Like a [Em]queen [D]without a [G]crown
And her [D]name was [Em]Ruby

[Interlude 1]
Brown
[G][D][Em]
[G][D][Em]
[G]

[Verse 8]
[A]Some say he beat her bad[Em]
'Til she just went plain mad
But [G]I say she went where he

[Verse 9]
could never go
[G]
And her [D]name was [Em]Ruby [G]Brown
And she [D]came through [Em]shanty [G]town
[Bm]Like [Em]a queen wit[D]hout a cro[G]wn
And [D]her name was [Em]Ruby Brown
