Start Jamming...
[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]
