Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You[Em] have[G] p[D]ainted up your lips
and rolled and [G]curled your tinted [A]hair.[D]
Ruby, are you contemplating
go[G]ing out somewhere?
[A]The sha[G]dows on the wall
tell me the [A]sun is going [D]down.
[G]Ruby, don't [A]take your love to [D]town
For it [Em]wasn't me that started
that old [G]crazy Asian [D]war
But [Em]I was proud to go and
do my [G]patriotic [A]chore
And I [G]know,
that I'm not the [A]man I used to [D]be
But [G]Ruby, I still [A]need your company
[D]It's hard to love a man
whose legs are [G]bent and [A]paralyzed
And the [D]wants and the needs
of a woman your age, [G]Ruby, I realize
[A]But it won[G]'t be long,
I've heard them say
[A]until I'm not around
[D]Oh, [G]Ruby, don't [A]take your
love to [D]town[Em][G][D]
She's leaving now,
cause I just heard the [G]slammin' of a [A]door
The [D]way I know
I've heard it slam
a [G]hundred times be[A]fore
And if [G]I could move
I'd get my gun and [A]put
her in the [D]ground
[G]Ruby
Don't [A]take your love to [D]town
For God's [G]sake turn [D]around
Don't [G]take your love to [D]town
For [G]God's sake, turn around.
[D]
