[Verse 1]
C F
Well I knew someday Ruby would be leavin'
G C G
That she wasn't happy livin' quietly, quietly
C F
Cause she would get that bedroom look each mornin'
G C
And I felt Ruby pull away from me, yeah
[Verse 2]
C F
So go down town at nine o'clock this evenin'
G C G
Walk under that red light then down the hall, down the hall
C F
Look for the highest-flyin' girl that's Ruby
G C
And if you'll wait your turn you'll see Ruby Fall
[CHORUS]
F C
Don't let her know that you even know me
G
She'll be tryin' to forget it all
C F
And don't tell me how it was tonight tomorrow
G C
Cause I don't want to see Ruby fall
---------Piano break---------

F C
I didn't hold her back when she got restless
G
One man is not enough when she wants it all
C F
Yeah I let her go when I saw what she wanted
G C
Cause I don't care to see Ruby fall
