Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town

(First line sans guitar)            
                         G#
She painted up her lips and rolled 
and curled her tinted hair.
D#m   C#                          
      Ruby only contemplating 
 F#         G#
going out somewhere.
   D#m                             
The shadow on the wall tells me the
             G#
 sun is going down.
D#m   C# F# D#m  (spoken)           
           C#
    Oh Ruby,     don't take your 
love to town.

 D#m                               
It wasn't me who started this whole
  F#        C#
 crazy Asian war.

 D#m                       
I was proud to go and do my 
  F#        G#
patriotic chore.
 D#m                               
And yes it's true that I am not the
G#
 man I used to be.
D#m   C# F# D#m                
    Oh Ruby,     I still need 
             C#
some company.

 C#                                
It's hard to love a man whose legs 
  F#         G#
have been paralyzed.
(the rest is like the first verse)
And it won't suit the needs of a 
woman your age Ruby I realize.
But it won't be long I've heard them
 say until I'm not around.
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to 
town.

(On the album this verse is 
accompanied by strumming muted 
strings, or you can play it
the verse above)
She's leaving now 'cuz I just heard 
the slamming of the door.
The way I know I've heard it slam 
one hundred times before.
If I could move I'd get my gun and 
put her in the ground.
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to 
town.
Oh Ruby, for God sakes turn around.
