INTRO: (Whistling) Gb..Ebm AbmAbm DbDb GbGb

#1.
GbGb          EbmEbm          AbmAbm
Who always cooked my steaks and cooked 'em rare?

Ruth.
AbmAbm                   GbGb
When the chips were down who was always there?

Ruth.
         EbmEbm        AbmAbm
And to whom did I swear up and down I'd always

tell the truth?
DbDb                   GbGb
Yodel-ee-del-ady, who in the world but Ruth.

CHORUS:
    BB   GbGb       AbmAbm
But now I'm as Ruthless as can be.
                 DbDb
Ruthless since Ruth walked out on me.
   GbGb        Eb MajorEb     AbmAbm
Now, I had hopes that someday old Ruth would be

my wife.
    DbDb                 GbGb
But it looks like I'll be Ruthless all my life.


INTERLUDE: (Whistling) Gb..Ebm AbmAbm DbDb GbGb

#2.
GbGb         Eb MajorEb         AbmAbm
Who always made my world so bright and cheery?

Ol' Ruth.
  DbDb                GbGb
Who always rubbed my back when I was weary?

Sweet Ruth.
          EbmEbm    AbmAbm
Who used to call me every day from a telephone

booth?
DbDb                   GbGb
Yodel-ee-del-ady, who in the world but Ruth.

CHORUS:
    BB   GbGb       AbmAbm
But now I'm as Ruthless as can be.
                 DbDb
Ruthless since Ruth walked out on me.
 DbDb         Eb MajorEb        AbmAbm
I used to think that me and Ruth would share a

happy home.
    DbDb                  GbGb
But it looks like I'll be Ruthless from now on.
