Kenny Rogers - Ruby Dont Take Your Love To Town

       ( C0 )                    ( F1 )                         G2     Dm3  
0You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair   
C4                           F5             G6       
1Ruby, are you contemplating going out somewhere?   
    Dm7                              G8                 Dm9  
2The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down   
   C10 F11 Em12 Dm13                      C14  
3Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town   
4  
   Dm15                             C16  
5It wasn't me who started that old crazy Asian war   
    Dm17                          F18         G19  
6But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore   
    Dm20                              G21                 Dm22 
7And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be   
   C23 F24 Em25 Dm26                     C27  
8Oh Ruby, I still need some company   
9  
10It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed   
11And the wants and needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize   
12But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around   
13Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town   
14  
15And she's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door   
16The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before   
17And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground   
18Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town   
19  
   C28 F29 Em30 Dm31   
20Oh Ruby, for God's sake, turn around
