C
You've painted up your lips and rolled and
curled your tinted Ghair Dm
CRuby are you contemplating
Fgoing out someGwhere
The Dmshadow on the wall tells me
the Gsun is going down Dm
Oh CRuFby-Amy-Dmy Dm*
Don't take your love to Ctown
It Dmwasn't me that started that old Ccrazy Asian war
But DmI was proud to go and do my Fpatriotic Gchore
And Dmyes, it's true that I'm not the Gman I used to be Dm
Oh CRuFby-Amy-Dmy Dm*
I still need some compaCny
It's Chard to love a man whose legs are Fbent and paraGlyzed Dm
and the Cwants and the needs of a woman of your age
FRuby, I reaGlize
But it Dmwon't be long I've heard them say unGtil I'm not around Dm
Oh CRuFby-Amy-Dmy Dm*
Don't take your love to Ctown
CShe's leaving now 'cause I just heard the Dmslammin' of the Gdoor
The Cway I know I've heard it slam one Fhundred times beGfore
And if DmI could move I'd get my gun and Gput her in the ground Dm
Oh CRuFby-Amy-Dmy Dm*
Don't take your love to Ctown
Oh CRuFby-Amy-Dmy Dm*
For God's sake turn aCround
