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 
G#             G      C 
You can lay it all on me 


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                   Em

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 
Am                         F G# 
Lock it up and swallow the key 
C                                            Am
