Start Jamming...
[F] [Em] [Dm] [F] [C]
You have painted up your lips and rolled [F] and curled your [G] tinted hair
[C] Ruby, are you [F] contemplating going out [G] somewhere?
[F] The shadows on the wall tell [G] me the sun is going down
[C] Oh, Ruby, [F]
[G] don't take your [C] love to town
[Dm] For it wasn't me that started that [F] old crazy [C] Asian war
[Dm] But I was proud to go and do [F] my [G] patriotic chore
And [F] I know, Ruby, that I'm not [G] the man I used to be
[C] But [F] Ruby, I [G] still need your [C] company
[Dm] [F] [C]
It's hard to love a man whose legs [F] are bent and [G] paralyzed
And [C] the wants and the needs of a woman your [F] age, Ruby, I [G] realize
But [F] it won't be long, I've heard them say, [G] until I'm not around
[C] Oh, [F] Ruby, [G] don't take your [C] love to town
She's leaving now, for I just heard [F] the slamming of [G] the door
The [C] way I know I've heard it slam [F] one hundred times [G]
before
And [F] if I could move, I'd get my gun [G] and put her in the ground
Oh, [C]
[F] Ruby, [G] don't take your love [C] to town
[F] Don't take your love [C] to town
