It wasn't me that started this old crazy Asian war But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be Oh Ruby, I still need some company It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed And the wants and needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of 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, don't take your love to town Oh Ruby, for God's sake, turn around | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC# D#m F# G# Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
