Rue Of Ruby Whores Acoustic Live chords by Michael Hurley

Verse 1:
C       F      Dm
I woke up on a summer's day
F            C
From dozin' on a bank of clay
C      E7  Am
The hot and humid fog
C       G   Am G Am
The splashin' of the water dog
Dm    Em C
Lo come a war canoe
F              C
And standing in the bow were you

Verse 2:
C           F      Dm
Tell me friend if you got the time
F                     C
Where in this woods does grow the healin' vine
C     E7        Am
And I was searchin' for my love
C       G     Am  G Am
Who used to live in the hills above
Dm      Em   C
And I don't live at all
F              C
No never since my last downfall

Mouth Trumpet Solo:

Verse 3:
C          F     Dm
Over yonder in the briar patch
F               C
The animal lives there in a hole
C     E7       Am
And ne'er in the sun will stir
C       G   Am G  Am
But come the fall of evenin' grey
Dm     Em   C
Leaps and jumps away
F     C

Verse 4:
C        F      Dm
Standin' on the mountain side
F                   C
Just tryin' to get a little taste o' rain
C      E7     Am
My people used to live here
C        G  Am G  Am
And I feel the same as they do
Dm     Em    C
For I did dwell here too
F     C

Verse 5:
C         F     Dm
There she be and she see me
F             C
A-driftin' in my daggone dream
C        E7      Am
They throwed my windows and doors
C    G  Am G Am
A century of misery
Dm     Em   C
The Rue of Ruby whores
F     C
