[G]
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tended hair
Ruby [Dm]
[C] are you [F] contemplating going out [G] somewhere?
[Dm] Shadow on the wall tells [G] me the sun is going down
[Dm]
[C] [F] [C]
[F] Don't take your [C] love
[Dm] It wasn't me that started that [C] old crazy Asian war
[Dm] But I was proud to go into [F] my patriotic [G] show
Yes,
[Dm] it's true that I'm [G] not the man I used to be
[Dm]
[C] Oh
[F] Me [C] [Dm] I
Still need some [C] company
It's hard to love a man whose legs have [F] been [G] paralyzed
[Dm]
[C] And the wants and the needs of a woman your [F] age Ruby I [G]
realize
But [Dm] it won't be long.
I've heard them [G] say until I'm not around
[Dm] [C]
[F] [C] [F]
[C] Don't take your love the time
She's [G] leaving now cuz that church slamming of the door
[N]
We are no I've heard it slam a hundred times
And [F] if I could move I'd get my [G] gun and put her in the ground
[Dm]
[C] [F] [C]
[Dm] Don't [G] take your [C] love
