You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
[Dm] [C] Ruby are you [F] contemplating going out [G] somewhere?
[Dm] Shadowed on the wall tell me [G] the sun is going down
[Dm]
[C] [F]
[Am] [Dm] Don't take your [C] love to town wasn't
[Dm] me that started that [C] old crazy Asian war
[Dm] But I was proud to go and do [F] my patriotic [G] chore

[C] Ruby
[F]
[Am] [Dm] I [G#] still need your [C] company

[Dm]

[C#] [Dm] If I could move I'd get my [G] gun and put her in the ground
