Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Ruby was a natural beauty,
loved little Richard
and St. Judy Fruity.
[G]Wanted her name in light,
she wore dresses [D]tight.
Ruby was a victim of circumstance,
she liked to wiggle and boogie dance.
But [G]out in the country,
she hardly ever got the [D]chance
She had a [Bm]local band
that played [G]the local bar
She had [D]local boys that breathed [A]hard
She had [Bm]hillbilly eyes
that [G]would shine in the dark
She had [D]a country soul
and a [A]rock and roll heart
And her [G]whole body shook
when [A]she stood up
And played the pian[D]o
And the boys said, play, Ruby, play
We really like the way you do it
Play, Ruby, play
I love the way you get into it
She made the young men scream
and the [C]old men moan
Rock [G]on, rock [F]on,
[D]rock [C]on[D][C][G][D][C]
[G][D]
Sometimes at night
with the full moon beaming
She's runnin' around the mountain
just kickin' and screamin'
Say[G]in' if I don't get on the road
I think I'm gonna explode
[D]Las[C]t t[D]ime I seen her,
she was down in the city
Shakin' and choppin', oh,
just makin' plenty
[G]Ruby was a sight to behold,
she was on a [D]roll
She had [Bm]a local band
that played the loc[G]al bar
She had [D]local boys a [A]-breathin' hard
She had [Bm]hillbilly eyes
that would [G]shine in the dark
She had a [D]country soul
and a [A]rock and roll heart
And her [G]whole body shook
when [A]she stood up
Played the pian[D]o
And the boy said, play, Ruby, play
We really like the way you do it
Play, Ruby, play
I love the way you get into it
She made the young man scream
and the [C]old man moan
[G]Rock on, rock [F]on, [D]rock on
And the boys said, play, Ruby, play
We really like the way you do it
Oh, play, Ruby, play
I love the way you get into
[C]it[G][D][C][G][D]
Play, Ruby, play

[Outro 1]
Play, Ruby, play
[D]
