Verse 1
G 
You painted up your lips
Dm 
and rolled and curled your tinted hair
C 
A ruby eye you're contemplating
F 
G 
going out somewhere
Dm 
A shadow on the wall
G 
Dm 
tells me the sun is going down
C 
F 
Dm 
Oh, Ruby
C 
Don't take your love to town
Dm 
It wasn't me that started that
C 
old crazy Asian war
Dm 
But I was proud to go and
F 
G 
do my patriotic chore
Dm 
And yes, it's true that I'm not the
G 
Dm 
C 
man I used to be
F 
Dm 
G 
Ooh, babe, I still need some company
C 
It's hard to love a man
F 
G 
Dm 
whose legs are bent and paralyzed
C 
And the wants and the needs
F 
of a woman your age, Ruby, I realize
G 
Dm 
But it won't be long,
I've heard them say,
G 
Dm 
C 
until I'm not around
F 
Am 
Dm 
Oh Ruby
C 
Don't take your love to town
He's leaving now
G 
because I just heard the
F 
G 
slamming of the door
G 
The way I know I've heard it
Dm 
C 
Dm 
slammed one hundred
Dm 
And if I could move,
G 
Dm 
C 
F 
Dm 
I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
G 
C 
F 
Dm 
Don't take your love to town
For God's sakes, turn around.
