G+G

Verse:
G+G       C majorC       G+G
Ruby, she was made for going west
D MajorD    G+G          C majorC
Did not protest my wandering ways
G+G       C majorC       G+G
Ruby, she was pretty as they come
D MajorD         G+G      C majorC
Twenty-eight years young and unafraid

Chorus:
D MajorD             E minorEm   C majorC
She gave me shelter on the coldest nights
E minorEm   G+G      C majorC
Shaded me on summer days
D MajorD            E minorEm  C majorC
And I had never known my place before
        G+G  D MajorD  G+G
But that's what Ruby soon became

Verse:

Ruby, she wasn't good at going fast
    D MajorD        G+G          C majorC
And the patience that I lacked I learned to grow
   G+G     C majorC        G+G
Cause Ruby had a way of breaking down
D MajorD     G+G        C majorC
Leaving me out there on the road

Chorus:
D MajorD             E minorEm   C majorC
She gave me shelter on the coldest nights
E minorEm   G+G      C majorC
Shaded me on summer days
D MajorD              E minorEm   C majorC
So as we traveled cross the country wide
G+G  D MajorD    G+G
Ruby set the pace

Verse:
B minorBm      C majorC     G+G
Ruby could be fickle and unfit
C majorC        G+G    D MajorD
Good as I would give at times
B minorBm      C majorC        G+G
Ruby was the closest thing to home
C majorC     G+G      A minorAm   D MajorD
I'll ever know in this life

Bridge:
G+G       C majorC     G+G
Ruby hit that California sand
D MajorD            G+G   C majorC
Slipped right through my hands eventually
G+G        C majorC        G+G
Ruby, I guess I knew it all the time
D MajorD       G+G    C majorC
She was never mine to keep


Chorus:
D MajorD             E minorEm   C majorC
She gave me shelter on the coldest nights
E minorEm   G+G      C majorC
Shaded me on summer days
D MajorD             E minorEm  C majorC
And nothing ever felt like home again
   D MajorD     E minorEm
When Ruby went away
D MajorD             E minorEm     C majorC
And nothing ever felt like home since when
D MajorD
Ruby went away

G+G
