Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere? 
    Em                              A7                   Em  
The Shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down - 
    D   G G/F# Em (Stop)    
Oh Ruby----- 
                        D 
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. 
   Em                              D   
It wasn't me that started that old crazy asian war 
   Em                           G         A7      
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore 
   Em                               A7                   Em 
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be... 
    D   G G/F# Em (Stop)    
Oh Ruby----- 
                        D 
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!
