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
