Michael Hurley – Rue Of Ruby Whores (Guitar Live)

C              F            Dm
I woke up on a summer's day

F                        C
From dozin' on a bank of clay

C            E7    Am
The hot and humid fog

C             G      Am G Am
The splashin' of the water dog

Dm        Em  C
Lo come a war canoe

F                            C
And standing in the bow were you

C                     F            Dm
Tell me friend if you got the time

F                                         C
Where in this woods does grow the healin' vine

C          E7               Am
And I was searchin' for my love

C             G          Am   G  Am
Who used to live in the hills above

Dm           Em      C
And I don't live at all

F                           C
No never since my last downfall

C                    F         Dm
Over yonder in the briar patch

F                             C
The animal lives there in a hole

C          E7              Am
And ne'er in the sun will stir

C             G      Am  G   Am
But come the fall of evenin' grey

Dm         Em     C
Leaps and jumps away

C                F            Dm
Standin' on the mountain side

F                                      C
Just tryin' to get a little taste o' rain

C           E7          Am
My people used to live here

C               G   Am  G   Am
And I feel the same as they do

Dm          Em        C
For I did dwell here too

C                 F         Dm
There she be and she see me

F                          C
A-driftin' in my daggone dream

C               E7            Am
They throwed my windows and doors

C       G    Am G Am
A century of misery

Dm          Em     C
