Rue Of Ruby Whores Acoustic Live chords by Michael Hurley

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
C majorC       FF      DmDm
I woke up on a summer's day
FF            C majorC
From dozin' on a bank of clay
C majorC      E7E7  A minorAm
The hot and humid fog
C majorC       G+G   A minorAm G+G A minorAm
The splashin' of the water dog
DmDm    E minorEm C majorC
Lo come a war canoe
FF              C majorC
And standing in the bow were you

Verse 2:
C majorC           FF      DmDm
Tell me friend if you got the time
FF                     C majorC
Where in this woods does grow the healin' vine
C majorC     E7E7        A minorAm
And I was searchin' for my love
C majorC       G+G     A minorAm  G+G A minorAm
Who used to live in the hills above
DmDm      E minorEm   C majorC
And I don't live at all
FF              C majorC
No never since my last downfall

Mouth Trumpet Solo:

Verse 3:
C majorC          FF     DmDm
Over yonder in the briar patch
FF               C majorC
The animal lives there in a hole
C majorC     E7E7       A minorAm
And ne'er in the sun will stir
C majorC       G+G   A minorAm G+G  A minorAm
But come the fall of evenin' grey
DmDm     E minorEm   C majorC
Leaps and jumps away
FF     C majorC

Verse 4:
C majorC        FF      DmDm
Standin' on the mountain side
FF                   C majorC
Just tryin' to get a little taste o' rain
C majorC      E7E7     A minorAm
My people used to live here
C majorC        G+G  A minorAm G+G  A minorAm
And I feel the same as they do
DmDm     E minorEm    C majorC
For I did dwell here too
FF     C majorC

Verse 5:
C majorC         FF     DmDm
There she be and she see me
FF             C majorC
A-driftin' in my daggone dream
C majorC        E7E7      A minorAm
They throwed my windows and doors
C majorC    G+G  A minorAm G+G A minorAm
A augmentedA century of misery
DmDm     E minorEm   C majorC
The Rue of Ruby whores
FF     C majorC
