Chords for Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted [G] hair. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] Ruby, are you [F] contemplating going out [G] somewhere? _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] The shadow on the wall tells me [G] the sun is going down. _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ Oh, [F] baby.
_ [E] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] It wasn't me that started that [C] old radiation war.
_ _ _ [Dm] But I was proud to go and do [F] my [G] patriotic chore. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] Yes, it's true that I'm [G] nothing more than I used to be. _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [C] Oh, _ _ _
[F] baby.
[Em] _ _ [Dm] _ _ I [C] still need some company. _ _ _ _ _
_ It's hard to love a man whose [F] legs have been [G] paralyzed. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [C] And I won't send the need of a woman your [F] age, Ruby, I [G] realize. _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] But it won't be long, I've heard them [G] say, until I'm not around.
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] Oh, baby.
[Em] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [E] Don't take your [C] love to town. _ _ _ _ _
[G] She's leaving now, because [N] I've just heard the slamming of the door.
_ _ _ _ _ The way I know I've heard it slam 100 times before. _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] And if I could move, I'd get my [G] gun and put her in the ground. _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [C] Ruby. _ _ _
[F] _ _ [E] Don't [Dm] _ _ [A] _
take your [C] love to town. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Ruby. Ruby.
[F] _ _
[Em] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] For God's sake, turn around. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
