Ruby (It's You)
Words & Music by Mitchell Parish & Heinz Roemheld, 1952
Recorded by Ray Charles, 1960
From the movie "Ruby Gentry"
A7+5 D6 DM7 Fdim C(7)
They say, Ruby, you're like a dream,
A7 F#m7 DM7 Bm
Not always what you seem;
Bm7 GM7 G6 Gm+7 Gm6
And though my heart may break when I awake,
D+ D Em7-5 A7 A7+5 D Gdim A7
Let it be so, I only know, Ruby, it's you.
A7+5 D DM7 Fdim C(7)
They say, Ruby, you're like a song,
A7 F#m7 DM7 Bm
You don't know right from wrong.
Bm7 GM7 G6 Gm+7 Gm6
And in your eyes I see heartbreak for me;
D+ D Em7-5 A7 A7+5 D
But from the start, who stole my heart? Ruby, it's you.
Bridge:
Gm A7+5 D
I hear your voice and I must come to you
Gm A7+5 A7 Em7-5 A7
I have no choice--what else can I do?
A7+5 D DM7 Fdim C(7)
They say, Ruby, you're like a flame;
A7 F#m7 DM7 Bm
Into my life you came.
Bm7 GM7 G6 Gm+7 Gm6
And though I should beware, still, I don't care.
D+ D Em7-5 A7 Gm7-5 D Gm7 Em7-5 A7 D
You thrill me so, I only know, Ruby, it's you.
