You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled 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
[E]
[Dm] Don't [C] take your love to town
[Dm] It wasn't me that started [C] that old crazy Asian war
But [Dm] I was proud to go and do [F] my [G] patriotic chore
[Dm] And yes it's true that I'm [G] not the man I used to be
[Dm]
[C] Oh [F] Ruby
[Em]
[Dm] [C] Still need some company
It's hard to love a man whose [F] legs are bent and [G] paralyzed
[Dm]
[C] And the wants and 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] Oh Ruby
[Em] [Dm]
[C] Don't take your love to town
She's leaving [B] now, cause I just [C#] heard the slamming of the door
The way I [C] know I've heard it [B] slam 100 times before
[Dm] And if I could move I'd get my [G] gun and put her in the ground
[Dm]
[C] Oh [F] Ruby
[E]
[Dm] [C] Don't take your love to town
Oh [F] Ruby
[Em] [Dm]
For God's sakes turn around
