V1.
       D5                                                     A5    E5
You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair.
D5                          D5         A5
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
    E5                              A5                   E5
The Shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down -
    D5   G5 G/f# E5 (Stop)
Oh Ruby-----
                        D5
Don't Take your love to town

V2 (same as V1)
Its hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize,
But it won't be long i've heard them say until I not around
Oh Ruby-----
Don't Take your love to town

V3.
   E5                              D5
It wasn't me that started that old crazy asian war
   E5                           G5         A5
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
   E5                               A5                   E5
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be...
    D5   G5 G/f# E5 (Stop)
Oh Ruby-----
                        D5
I still need some company.


V4 (Same as V1)

She's leavin' now 'cause I heard the slammin' iof the door
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 Ruby-----
For god's sake turn around!

enjoy.....
