[G] 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] Shadow on the wall tells [G] me the Sun is going down
[Dm]
[C] [F]
[C] [Dm] Don't [C]
take your love to town
[Dm] It wasn't me that started that [C] old crazy Asian war
[Dm] But I was proud to go [F] and do my [G] patriotic chore
[Dm] And yes, it's true that I'm [G] not the man I used to be
[Dm] [C] Oh
I [F] [C] [Dm]
still need some [C] company
It's hard to love a man whose legs [F] are bent and [G] paralyzed
And
[Dm] [C] 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] Oh
[F] [C] [Dm]
Don't take your [C] love to town
She's leaving [Ab] now cuz I [A] just heard the slamming of [E] the door
Way, I know I've heard it slam 100 [Ab] pounds before
[Dm] And if I can move I'd get my [G] gun and put her in the ground
[Dm]
