You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair.

D                          C             D      Am                  
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?

    C                               D            D      Am
The Shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down -

   D    C 
Oh Ru---by

      Am        C       D
Don't Take your love to town

    D                                 C             D        Am
Its hard to love a man whose legs are bent and para-lysed

        D                                             C          D    Am
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, well Ruby I rea-lize

       C                                    D          D     Am
But it won't be long i've heard them say un-til I not around

  D    C 
Oh Ru---by

      Am        C       D
Don't Take your love to town

   Am                              D
It wasn't me that started that old crazy asian war

    Am                          C         D      Am
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore

    C                              D              D    Am     
And yes, it's true I'm not the man that I used to be...

   D    C 
Oh Ru---by

        Am        C     D
I still need some compa-ny.

      D-pm    D-pm       D-pm  D-pm      C-pm           D-pm
She's leavin' now 'cause I justheard the slammin'of the door

    D-pm  D-pm      D-pm     D-pm     C-pm          D-pm
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before

       Am                              D              D       Am
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground

   D    C 
Oh Ru---by

    Am         C      D
For God's sake turn a-round!
