🎸 Verse 1:
Dm       A     Dm            A
 I am a sleuth
I dig up the truth
  Dm         A           Gm             A
I ferret the facts, even when there are none
Dm        A     Dm          A
 A silent child, an elegant youth
Dm          A           Gm          A
This led me to find the truth about Ruth

🎸 Chorus:
Bb      Dm
Ruth is John
Gm6     A
Ruth is John
   Bb             Dm
We all do what we can
        Bb       Bb7   A    A
Just to get along


🎸 Verse 2:
Dm           A             Dm          A
The life you lead, straightforward and bland
Dm         A         Gm         A
Everything happens according to plan
    Dm          A     Dm           A
But some people fight just to take root
     Dm         A               Gm          A
In a world ill-equipped for the truth about Ruth


🎸 Chorus:
Bb      Dm
Ruth is John
Gm6     A
Ruth is John
   Bb             Dm
We all do what we can
        Bb       Bb7   A
Just to get along

   Dm         A        Dm        A
Oh, bully for you, oh, bully for you
     Dm             A               Gm         A
Your groin and your face, they slip right into place
   Dm          A            Dm       A
So masoned and carved, your arrow is drawn
    Dm           A            Gm       A
You know who you are, yet you have no idea


🎸 Chorus:
Gm      Dm
Ruth is John

Ruth is John
    Gm        Dm
And sooner or later
       Gm  F      A/E
We are all calmed down
