Kenny Rogers

Capo III

                               E MajorE  E7E7
You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair.
A augmentedA             D MajorD       E MajorE  E7E7
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
  B minorBm               A augmentedA      E MajorE  E7E7
The Shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down...
  A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh Ruby
            A augmentedA
Don't take your love to town

  B minorBm               A augmentedA
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
  B minorBm             D MajorD     E MajorE  E7E7
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
  B minorBm               A augmentedA       E MajorE E7E7
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be...
  A augmentedA D MajorD             A augmentedA
Oh Ruby, I still need some company.

   A augmentedA                 D MajorD      E MajorE  E7E7
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
    A augmentedA                    D MajorD     E MajorE  E7E7
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize,
    B minorBm                 E7E7      E MajorE  E7E7
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
  A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh Ruby
            A augmentedA
Don't take your love to town

   A augmentedA                D MajorD        E MajorE  (no music)
She's leaving' now 'cause I heard the slamming' of the door
  A augmentedA                 D MajorD        E MajorE  E7E7
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
  B minorBm                 A augmentedA       E MajorE   E7E7
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
  A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh Ruby
            A augmentedA
Don't take your love to town

  A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh Ruby
God sakes, turn around
