Chords with lyrics
Ruth
Intro- G+G E minorEm FF C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
Coming through the filter, sweet upon my lips
A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm
the smoke mollifies the lung into which it rips
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
In a sunlit tavern, in a corner booth
A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm
sucking stale popcorn, there I met dear Ruth
C majorC G+G C majorC E minorEm
She'd only just lost the baby, seven months and a week
A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm
Drank a month of Seagrams, kissed me on the cheek
FF D7D7
Never would've been my style
FF D7D7
But I could spot it from a mile
FF D7D7
That it would mean a world of good
FF D7D7
If we got friendly for a while
A minorAm G+G C majorC G+G
Oh what a dear my dear girl might have been
G+G E minorEm FF C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
In my nine dollar room, there was nothing on TV
A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm
She asked if she could use my toothbrush, "It don't bother me.?
C majorC G+G C majorC E minorEm
"I thank you for the company" she most solemnly said
A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm
When I woke the next morning, she had fallen from the bed
FF D7D7
Quite a sight I have to say
FF D7D7
Where once had blossomed a bouquet
FF D7D7
Now all but wilting like a leaf
FF D7D7
In the ruthless light of day
A minorAm G+G C majorC G+G
O what a dear my dear girl might have been
G+G E minorEm FF C majorC
Ruth, sweet girl, there's no place for you
G+G C majorC G+G
