Excuse me, senor.
Can you tell me where the Eiffel Tower is, please?
If you'll give me the Eiffel Light.
Eiffel, Eiffel, Eiffel, Eiffel, Eiffel, Eiffel.
Where are the fellas in the white coats?
They're headed this way, boys.
Here's our friend, yours and mine, Mr.
Bobby Bear.
[D] You got painted up your lips and [G] rolled and curled your tent in [A] a pair.
[D] Ruby, are you [G] contemplating going [A] out somewhere?
[G] The shadows on the wall tell [A] me the sun is going [Em] down.
[D] Oh, but Ruby, [G]
[A] don't take your [D] love to town.
It's hard to love a man whose legs [G] are bent and [A] paralyzed.
I [D] once needs of a girl your age, [G] Ruby, I [A] realize.
[Em] It [G] won't be long, I've heard them say, [A] until I'm not around.
[Em] Oh, but [D]
Ruby, [G] don't take your [D] love to town.
[Em] Cause it wasn't me that started that [G] old crazy [D] Asian war.
[Em] But I was proud to go and do my [G] patriotic [A] joy.
[G] And I know, Ruby, that I'm [A] not the man I used to be.
[D] Yeah, but [G] Ruby, I [A] still need your [D] company.
[E]
She's leaving now, cause I just heard her [A] slamming out the [F#m] door.
The [E] way I know I've heard it slam a [A] hundred times or [B] more.
If [A] I could move, I'd give my [B] gun and put her in the ground.
Oh, [E] but Ruby, [A]
[B] don't take your [E] love to town.
I said, Ruby, [A] [B] don't take your [E] love to town.
