Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
You've painted up your lips
and rolled and curled your tinted [G]hair[Dm]
[C]Ruby are you contemplating
[F]going out some[G]where?
The [Dm]shadows on the wall
tell me the [G]sun is going down
[Dm]Oh Ru by[C],[F][C][Dm]
don't take your love to [C]town

[Verse 2]
It [Dm]wasn't me that started
that old [C]crazy Asian war
But [Dm]I was proud to go
and do my [F]patriotic [G]chore
And [Dm]yes, it's true
that I'm not the [G]man I used to be
[Dm]Oh Ru by[C],[F][C][Dm]
I still need some compa[C]ny

[Verse 3]
It's [C]hard to love a man
whose legs are [F]bent and para[G]lized[Dm]
And the [C]wants and needs
of a woman your age
[F]Ruby, I rea[G]lize
But it [Dm]won't be long, I've heard them say,
un[G]til I'm not around
[Dm]Oh Ru by[C],[F][C][Dm]
don't take your love to [C]town

[Verse 4]
She's leaving now cause I just heard
the slamming of the door
The way I know I heard its slams
one hundred times before
And if [Dm]I could move, I'd get my gun
and [G]put her in the ground
[Dm]Oh Ru by[C],[F][C][Dm]
don't take your love to [C]town

[Outro 1]
Oh [C]Ru [F]by,[C][Dm]
for God's sake, turn around
