Verse 1:
Em D Bm
I once heard of a lady fair
Am D Em
With blood-scarlet skin and the moon in her hair
Em D Bm
And should you want for her company
Am D Em
You'd empty your pockets to pay for her fee
Pre-Chorus:
G Am Bm
The grace of her dancing is sweeter than sin
Em G D Em
Her gaze known to topple the strongest of men
G Am Bm Em
Her voice when she sings is as clear as a gem
Em G D Em
And once you have known her you'll seek her again
Chorus:
Am Em Bm Em
Ruby of the Sea, the Ruby of the Sea
G D B7 Em
To most men a 🏷Legend that they'll never see
Am Em Bm Em
Ruby of the sea, the Ruby of the sea
G D B7 Em
She's lovely and precious and never comes free
Verse 2:
Em D Bm
Since I heard of this siren bright
Am D Em
I'm thinking about her from dawn until night
Em D Bm
And though I'll never be in her spell
Am D Em
I'm falling in love on the stories they tell
Pre-Chorus 2:
G Am Bm
Her dance light as foam on the crest of a wave
Em G D Em
Her eyes like a current, you're caught in her gaze
G Am Bm Em
Her voice is a memory you'll take to the grave
Em G D Em
And once you have known her your heart is her slave
Chorus:
Am Em Bm Em
Ruby of the Sea, the Ruby of the Sea
G D B7 Em
To most men a 🏷Legend that they'll never see
Am Em Bm Em
Ruby of the sea, the Ruby of the sea
G D B7 Em
She's lovely and precious and never comes free
G D B7 Em
She's lovely and precious and out of your reach
