For the accordion arpeggios, play Em as 333453  think of it as Dm moved up a whole step
And the chord played in the beginning is a Bbm

Capo 4

Bm (x24432@1)D (xx0232@1)      A (x02220@1)   DHer (xx0232@1)name was Ruby Mae
Bm (x24432@1)D (xx0232@1)         A (x02220@1) DShe (xx0232@1)danced the cabaret

G (320003@1)  A (x02220@1)  DThat (xx0232@1)Ruby Mae

In the open window breeze
She pulled her stockings above her knees
Such a lovely girl was she
That Ruby Mae

Solo, same chords

On a lonely winter night
I followed her under Christmas lights
So low down was I
To Ruby Mae

Solo, same chords

In the bitter morning air
I hid her body there
In the heart of old Times Square
So she'd not lose her way

Her name was Ruby Mae
She danced the cabaret
Such a lovely girl was she...
G (320003@1)   A (x02220@1)   D (xx0232@1)

Word of caution: this song does not work as a romantic overture or serenade.
