You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair.   
D                           D         A7    
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?   
    Em                              G             A7      Em    
The Shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down -

V2.   
   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.   

V3 (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   

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!
