[Em]
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled [G] your tinted hair
[Dm]
[C] Ruby are you [F] contemplating going out [G] somewhere?
[Dm] The shadow on the wall tells [G] me the sun is going down
[Dm]
[C] Oh [F] Ruby
[Dm] It [C]
[Dm]
wasn't me that started [C] that old crazy Asian war
[Dm] But I was proud to go into [F] my [G] patriotic shore
And
[Dm] yes it's true that I'm [G] not the man I used to be
[Dm]
[C] Oh Ruby
[F] [Em]
I [Dm] [C] still need some company
It's hard to love a man whose [F] legs have been [G] paralyzed
And [Dm]
[C] I won't stand the needs of a woman your [F] age
Ruby [G] I realize
[Dm] But it won't be long I've heard them [G] say until I'm not around
[Dm] [C]
[F] Ruby
[Am] [Dm]
[C] She's
[G] leaving now
Cause I [N] just heard the slamming of your door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
[Dm] And if I could move I'd get my [G] gun and put her in the ground
[Dm]
[C] Ruby
[F] [Am] [Dm] [C]
[F] [Am] [Dm]
