Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town chords by Mel Tillis

Chords with lyrics

G+G                     C majorC         D7D7
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
G+G             C majorC       D7D7
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
  C majorC                D7D7
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
  G+G  C majorC         D7D7   G+G
Oh Ru--by don't take your love to town

  A minorAm               C majorC      G+G
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
  A minorAm             C majorC     D7D7
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores
  C majorC              D7D7
And I know girl that I'm not the man that I used to be
  G+G  C majorC          D7D7  G+G
But Ru--by I still need some comp-any

                    C majorC      D7D7
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
    G+G                    C majorC     D7D7
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize
    C majorC                  D7D7
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
  G+G  C majorC         D7D7   G+G
Oh Ru--by don't take your love to town

                     C majorC        D7D7
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
  G+G                 C majorC        D7D7
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
    C majorC                D7D7
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
  G+G  C majorC         D7D7   G+G
Oh Ru--by don't take your love to town
   C majorC          G+G
Ruby for God sake's turn around
   C majorC     D7D7   G+G
Don't take your love to town
