E minorEm A augmentedA
Such a lovely
D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
Girl was she
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
That Ruby Mae
In the open window breeze
She pulled her stockings above her knees
Such a lovely girl was she
That Ruby Mae
Solo, same chords
On a lonely winter night
I followed her under Christmas lights
So low down was I
To Ruby Mae
Solo, same chords
In the bitter morning air
I hid her body there
In the heart of old Times Square
So she'd not lose her way
Her name was Ruby Mae
She danced the cabaret
Such a lovely girl was she...
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
