Ruby (Don't take your love to town)
                                                               
C                                         F                  G      Dm
You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair
C                          F             G
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
    Dm                              G7                 Dm
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down 

   C          F  / Am /  Dm    (Stop)
Oh Ru - - - - by - - - - - - - 
                        C
Don't Take your love to town

   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                              G7                Dm   
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be

   C          F  / Am /  Dm           (Stop)
Oh Ru - - - - by - - - - - - - - -
                                      C
I still need some company.

C                                      F            G        Dm
It?s 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                                  G7                  Dm
But it won't be long I?ve heard them say until I?m not around

   C          F  / Am /  Dm    (Stop)
Oh Ru - - - - by - - - - - - - 
                        C
Don't Take your love to town

(No Chords)
She's leavin now cos I heard the slammin of the door

The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before

       Dm                          G7                        Dm
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground

   C          F  / Am /  Dm    (Stop)
Oh Ru - - - - by - - - - - - - 
                        C
Don't Take your love to town

   C          F  / Am /  Dm           (Stop)
Oh Ru - - - - by - - - - - - - - -

For God sakes turn around!
