Chords for Mel Tillis - Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town

Let's make him welcome Mel Tillis. _ _ _
[E] How are you?
Good.
How are you, brother?
Fine.
Good to see you, man.
Good to see you.
And here's a song that I know most folks, they hear the song after it's recorded with
the whole band and everything.
[F] And I ask you to do this one just like you did it when you first wrote it, just with a guitar.
I'd be happy to, [D] Porter.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ Are [E] you painting up your lips and rolling curls your [A] tinted hair?
Oh, _ _
_ [A] Ruby, are you [G] contemplating going out somewhere?
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ The [G]
shadows on the wall tells me the sun is going down. _
[Em] _ _ _ Oh, _ _ Ruby, [G] _ _ don't [D] take your love to town.
_ [Em] It wasn't me that started [G] that old [D] crazy Asia war.
_ But [Em] I was proud to go and do my [A] patriotic chore.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
[G] And yes, it's true, I'm not the man that I used [A] to be.
_ [Em] _ _ [E] Oh, but _ Ruby, _ [G] _ I still need some [D] company.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ Lord, it's [D] hard to love a man whose [G] legs are bent and [A] paralyzed.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
And [D] the wants and the needs of a woman your [G] age, Ruby, _ I realize.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
[G] But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until [A] I'm not around.
_ [Em] _ _ _ [A] Oh, Ruby, _ _ [G] _ _ don't take your [D] love to town.
_ She's leaving now, cause I just heard the [A] slamming of the door.
Now [Em] _ _ _
the way I know, I've heard it [G] slam 100 [A] times before.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ And if [G] I could move, I'd get my gun and put [A] her in. _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [A] Oh, _ _ _ [G]
Ruby, _ [A] don't take your [D] love to town. _
_ _ _ _ [G] Ruby, _ for God's sake, turn around.
Don't take your love to town.
