[Intro] G G G G [Verse 1]
           Am
When I was five

  Am            Am7                 D
I put on mama's high heel shoes and painted my face

    Am7              D
And dance across the living room

   G
In Ruby's place

          Em
Where the music was always playing

Em7                         A        D
Girls would laugh while the men were sayin'
[Chorus]
G                 E7  Am       D
Apples don't fall far from the tree

Cm         D              G   Em7
Hey, honey come sit on my knee

G                 E7  Am       D
Apples don't fall far from the tree

Cm             Gm
And I remember mama's tears

     Cm             D                             G
When they said in a few years I'd be something to see
[Verse 2]
        Am              Am7           D
At seventeen I had me a diamond and a string of pearls

    Am               Am7              G
The men said they preffered me to the other girls

     Em                             Em7             A        D
They took me to the best places but I could read it on their faces
[Chorus]
G                 E7  Am       D
Apples don't fall far from the tree

Cm         D              G   Em7
Hey, honey come sit on my knee

G                 E7  Am       D
Apples don't fall far from the tree

Cm             Gm
And I remember mama's tears

     Cm             D                             G
When they said in a few years I'd be something to see
[Bridge]
Em        B7   Em   D      G     D
Then when mama died I made up my mind

   G        Em         G          Em       Cm
To get on a Greyhound, get out of this town

    Cm       D     D7
And leave it all behind
[Verse 3]
              Am
But life goes on

  Am                    Am7      D
A child of three smiles up at me while she plays

    D              D7              G
The man I love has never heard of "Ruby's Place"

        Em                           Em7          A     D
When he holds her with affection and he uses that old expression
[Chorus]
G                 E7  Am       D
Apples don't fall far from the tree

Cm         D              G   Em7
Hey, honey come sit on my knee

G                 E7  Am       D
Apples don't fall far from the tree

Cm             Gm
And I remember mama's tears

     Cm             D                             G
When they said in a few years I'd be something to see
