For the accordion arpeggios, play Em as 333453… think of it as Dm moved up a whole step
And the chord played in the beginning is a Bbm
Capo 4

Bm D A D
Her name was Ruby Mae
Bm D A D
She danced the cabaret
Em A
Such a lovely
D A Em
Girl was she
G A D
That Ruby Mae
In the open window breeze
She pulled her stockings above her knees
Such a lovely girl was she
That Ruby Mae
Solo, same chords
On a lonely winter night
I followed her under Christmas lights
So low down was I
To Ruby Mae
Solo, same chords
In the bitter morning air
I hid her body there
In the heart of old Times Square
So she’d not lose her way
Her name was Ruby Mae
She danced the cabaret
Such a lovely girl was she...
G A D
Word of caution: this song does not work as a romantic overture or serenade.
