V1. Intro Notes - ---- ---- Repeat Twice
You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair.
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The Shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down -
Oh Ru---by
Don't Take your love to town
V2
Its hard to love a man whose legs are bent and para-lysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, well Ruby I rea-lize
But it won't be long i've heard them say un-til I not around
Oh Ru---by
Don't Take your love to town
V3.
It wasn't me that started that old crazy asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true I'm not the man that I used to be...
Oh Ru---by
I still need some compa-ny.
V4. -- pm= Palm Mute
-pm -pm -pm -pm -pm -pm
She's leavin' now 'cause I justheard the slammin'of the door
-pm -pm -pm -pm -pm -pm
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ru---by
For God's sake turn a-round!
