Start Jamming...
[N] For the first edition
[B] [G]
You've painted up your lips and rolled [F] and curled your [G] tinted hair
[Dm]
[C] Ruby are you contemplating [Dm] going out [G] somewhere?
The [Dm] shadow on the wall tells me the [G] Sun is going down
[Dm] [C]
Don't [F]
[Dm] [C] 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 into [F] my patriotic [G] show
[D] Yes, it's true that [G] I'm not the man I used to be
[Dm] [C] Still [F] [Dm]
[C] need some company
It's hard to love a man [F] whose legs are bent and [G] paralyzed
[Dm] [C] And I won't send the [F] needs of a woman your age Ruby I [G] realize
[D] But it won't be long.
I've heard them say until [G] I'm not around
[Dm] [C] Oh
[F] [Dm]
[C] Don't take your love to town
She's leaving now cuz I just heard the slamming of [Am] the door
[Eb] The [G] way I know I've heard it slam [C] 100 times before
[Eb]
[B] [Dm] And if I could move I'd get my gun and [G] put her in the ground
[Dm] [C]
[F] [Dm]
[C] Don't take your love to town
For [F] [C] [Dm]
[B] God's sakes turn off
[E] [B]
