Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][D]

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

[Verse 2]
It [A]wasn't me that started
that old [G]crazy Asian [D]war
But [A]I was proud to go and
do my [G]patriotic [A]chores
[D]I know Ruby,
that I'm not the [G]man I used to [A]be
But [D]Ruby, [G]I still nee[A]d your

[Interlude 1]
company.
[D][G][A][D]

[Verse 3]
It's [D]hard to love a man whose
legs are [G]bent and para[A]lyzed
And the [D]wants and the needs of a woman
your age [G]Ruby I [A]realize
But I've heard [G]them say it won't
be long un[A]til I'm not around
Oh [D]Ruby, [G]don't tak[A]e
your love to [D]town.

[Verse 4]
She's [D]leaving now for I just heard
the [G]slammin' of [A]the door
The way [D]I know I've heard it
slam a [G]hundred times be[A]fore
If [G]I could move I'd get my gun
and put [A]her in the ground
Oh [D]Ruby, [G]don't tak[A]e your love to town

[Outro 1]
