Chords
	 
[Verse]
E E7
You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair.
A D E E7
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
Bm A E E7
The Shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down...
A D
Oh Ruby
A
Don't take your love to town
[Verse]
Bm A
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
Bm D E E7
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
Bm A E E7
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be...
A D A
Oh Ruby, I still need some company.
[Verse]
A D E E7
It s hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
A D E E7
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize,
Bm E7 E E7
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
A D
Oh Ruby
A
Don't take your love to town
[Verse]
A D E (no music)
She's leaving' now 'cause I heard the slamming' of the door
A D E E7
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
Bm A E E7
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
A D
Oh Ruby
A
Don't take your love to town
[Outro]
A D
Oh Ruby
God sakes, turn around
