Its hard to love a man whose legs are bent and para-lysed

And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, well Ruby I rea-lize

But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
  FF               C majorC       G+G  DmDm
And yes, it's true I'm not the man that I used to be...
  C majorC  FF

  C-pm C-pm   C-pm   C-pm   F-pm     G-pm
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
    DmDm               C majorC       G+G    DmDm
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground

  C majorC  FF

  DmDm     FF   C majorC
For God's sake turn a-round!
