Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town

       C                       
You've painted up your lips and 
            F                  G  
rolled and curled your tinted hair
   Dm

C                          F     
Ruby are you contemplating going 
         G
out somewhere
    Dm                             
The shadow on the wall tells me the
 G
 sun is going down
   C   F Dm (Stop)                  
 C
Oh Ruby-----don't take your love to 
town


Its hard to love a man whose legs 
are bent and paralyzed
Continues after the ad
And the wants and the needs of a 
woman your age, Ruby I realize
But it won't be long I've heard them
 say until I not around
Oh Ruby-----don't take your love to 
town


   Dm                              
It wasn't me that started that old 
C
crazy asian war
    Dm                         
But I was proud to go and do my 
 F         G
patriotic chore
    Dm                             
And yes, it's true that I'm not the
 G
 man I used to be...
   C   F Dm (Stop)                  
 C
Oh Ruby-----I still need some 
company


Music like verse 1

She's leavin' now 'cause I heard the
 slammin' of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam 
one hundred times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun 
and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby-----For god's sake turn 
around
