Start Jamming...
[Em] [C]
You've painted up [Bb] your lips and rolled and curled [G] your tatted hair.
[Dm]
[C] Oh Ruby, are you contemplating [F] going [G] out somewhere?
Well [D] the shadow on the wall [G] tells me the sun is going down.
[E] [Dm]
[C] Oh [F] Ruby, [C]
[D] well [C] don't take your love to town.
[D] Well it wasn't me that started [C] that old crazy Asian [Em] war.
[D] But I was proud to go and [F] do my [G] patriotic chore.
[D] And yes it's true that [G] I'm not the man I used to be.
[E] [Dm] [C] Oh [F] Ruby, [C] [Dm]
well I still need some [C] company.
[G]
[C] Well it's hard to love a man whose [F] legs are bitten [G] and paralyzed.
[Dm]
[C] And the wants and the needs of a woman your [F] age, Ruby I [G] realize.
[D] But it won't be long I've [G] heard them say until I'm not around.
[Em] [Dm]
[C] Oh [F] Ruby, [C]
[Dm] well don't take your [C] love to town.
[G] [Bb] [C] [G] She's leaving now [F] cause I just heard the slamming [G] of the doors.
[E] [D] [C] The way I know I've heard it [F] slam a hundred [G] times before.
[D] If I could move I'd grab my [G] gun and put her in the ground.
[E]
[Dm] [C] Oh [F] Ruby, [C] [Dm] well don't take your [C] love to town.
Oh [F] Ruby, [C]
[Dm] [Gb] for God's [C] sakes turn around.
[F] [C] [Dm]
[Em] [C] [N]
