Chords

[Intro] | Dm A | Dm A | [Verse 1]
Dm       A     Dm            A
 I am a sleuth, I dig up the truth

  Dm         A           Gm             A
I ferret the facts, even when there are none

Dm        A     Dm          A
 A silent child, an elegant youth

Dm          A           Gm          A
This led me to find the truth about Ruth
[Chorus]
Bb      Dm
Ruth is John

Gm6     A
Ruth is John

   Bb             Dm
We all do what we can

        Bb       Bb7   A    A
Just to get along
[Verse 2]
Dm           A             Dm          A
The life you lead, straightforward and bland

Dm         A         Gm         A
Everything happens according to plan

    Dm          A     Dm           A
But some people fight just to take root

     Dm         A               Gm          A
In a world ill-equipped for the truth about Ruth
[Chorus]
Bb      Dm
Ruth is John

Gm6     A
Ruth is John

   Bb             Dm
We all do what we can

        Bb       Bb7   A
Just to get along
[Instrumental] | Dm A | Dm A | Dm A | Gm A | | Dm A | Dm A | Dm A | Gm A | | Gm6 | A | Gm6 | A | | Gm6 | A | Gm6 | A Gm | F A/E | [Verse 3]
   Dm         A        Dm        A
Oh, bully for you, oh, bully for you

     Dm             A               Gm         A
Your groin and your face, they slip right into place

   Dm          A            Dm       A
So masoned and carved, your arrow is drawn

    Dm           A            Gm       A
You know who you are, yet you have no idea
[Chorus]
Gm      Dm
Ruth is John

Gm6     A
Ruth is John

    Gm        Dm
And sooner or later

       Gm  F      A/E
We are all calmed down
[Outro] | Bb | Dm | Bb | Bb7 | A |
