Intro: C Am F G C

C
Ruby's got a brother. Her brother's got a lover
C                                G
His lover's got another on the side
G
Ain't nobody's business. We all need forgiveness
G                               C
It's been laying heavy on my mind


F                   Em
If you got a secret baby I can keep it
Am                         F G#
Lock it up and swallow the key
C                                            Am
'Cause everybody's got a little something to hide

C
Her mama used the Bible. Daddy used the bottle
C                             G
Revival and survival made her run
G
She's using just a little of both here in the middle
G                                 C
I know exactly where she's coming from

F                      D
Covering my tracks and sneaking on the sly
C
It's getting hard to look my Ruby in the eye
    D
She caught us shackin' up at a dirty motel
D                        G                C
Says she's gonna send us both straight to hell


C
It's complicated ain't it. I wish I could explain it
C                                   G
It wouldn't make no difference if I tried
G
Now Ruby and her brother. Say one way or another
G                               C
I'm running out of places I can hide


F                        Em
If you know a secret you best know how to keep it
