Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town” dari The Killers:
You've painted up your lips and rolled
G# D#m
and curled your tinted hair,
C# F# G#
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
D#m
The shadow on the wall
G# D#m
tells me the sun is going down,
C# F# C# D#m
Oh Ruby,
C#
don't take your love to town.
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
