[Verse 1]
                                                               A7    Em
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair

D                          G              A7
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?

    Em                               A7          Em
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down

   D   G   D/F#  Em        D                 G
Oh Ru--by,          don't take your love to town
[Verse 2]
    Em                              D          G
It wasn't me that started this old crazy Asian war

    Em                          G         A7
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore

    Em                              A7            Em
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be

   D   G   D/F#  Em          D             G
Oh Ru--by,          I still need some company
[Verse 3]
      D                               G        A7         Em
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed

        D                                   G         A7
And the wants and needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize

       Em                                   A7            Em
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around

   D   G   D/F#  Em       D                  G
Oh Ru--by,          don't take your love to town
[Verse 4]
       Em                                 G              A7     Em
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door

    D                                 G             A7
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before

       Em                              A7              Em
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground

    D   G   D/F#  Em      D                 G
Oh Ru--by,          don't take your love to town
[Outro]
    D   G   D/F#  Em
Oh Ru--by,          for God's sake, turn around
