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

Don't take your love to [C] town
Verse 2:
It [Dm] wasn't me that started that old [C] crazy Asian war [C]

And [Dm] yes, it's true that I'm not the [G] man I used to be [G]

I still need some compa[C]ny

[Dm] and the [C] wants and the needs of a woman of your age [F] Ruby, I rea[G]lize [G]
But it [Dm] won't be long I've heard them say un[G]til I'm not around [G]
[Dm] ...Oh [C] Ru[F]by-[Am]y-[Dm]y [Dm*]
Don't take your love to [C] town
Verse 4:
[C] She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the [Dm] slammin' of the [G] door [G]
The [C] way I know I've heard it slam one [F] hundred times be[G]fore [G]
And if [Dm] I could move I'd get my gun and [G] put her in the ground [G]
[Dm] ...Oh [C] Ru[F]by-[Am]y-[Dm]y [Dm*]
Don't take your love to [C] town
