Ruby (Don't Take Your Love To Town)
[Verse 1]
N.C. G F
You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair.
C F G
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
Dm C F
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
C F (Stop)
Oh Ru by
C
Don't Take your love to town
[Verse 2]
Dm C
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
Dm F G
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
Dm C F
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be...
C F (Stop)
Oh Ru by
C
I still need some company.
[Verse 3]
C G C
Its hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
C F G
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize
Dm C F
But it won't be long I’ve heard them say until I’m not around
C F (Stop)
Oh Ru by
C
Don't Take your love to town
[Verse 4]
N.C.
She's leavin' now 'cause I heard the slammin' of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
Dm C F
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
C F (Stop)
Oh Ru by
C
Don't Take your love to town
C F (Stop)
Oh Ru by
For God sakes turn around!
