I Miss My Mary Hal Ketchum
Original Key
INTRO - A
VERSE 1:
A threadbare alibi[Dadd9],
A lifetime full of p[A]romise
Fell from my Mary's eyes
As she watched the screen door s[E]wing
The [Dadd9]baby never w[A]oke,
He lay c[F#m]radled in her [Dadd9]trembli[A]ng
He lay safe never k[Dadd9]nowing
What my l[E]eaving would b[A]ring
VERSE 2:
I draw my pay down on the[Dadd9] docks
Send it off to M[A]ary
Might hold back a dollar
And wash this pain out of my b[E]ack
But the[Dadd9] pain keeps gettin' c[A]learer
And Mary your [F#m]face just keeps on[Dadd9] fading[A]
Now the light shines through this b[D]ottle
Memor[E]ies all fade to [A]black
CHORUS:
Well I'll[Dadd9] see you out on the streets tonight
A. A.
I'm a lover of a drink, lover of a fight
Ho[Dadd9]ld my own on the dark side of this [A]town
Yes I'm[Dadd9] tough as nails, got a heart of steel
I will n[A]ever fear 'cause I will never[F#m] feel
And[Dadd9] one more round will surely set me[E] right
I miss my Mary toni[A]ght
INTERLUDE:
[Dadd9] [-] [E] [-] [A]
VERSE 3:
The call me the old man in thi[Dadd9]s bar
Sleeves rolled up and s[A]howin'
Faint blue souvenirs of love and places I have b[E]een
On[Dadd9]e says "U[A]S Navy"
And this [F#m]one says "Darli[Dadd9]ng Mary[A]"
My Mary's turned to a[D]shes
And the o[E]cean's turned to [A]gin
CHORUS:
Well I'll[Dadd9] see you out on the streets tonight
A. A.
I'm a lover of a drink, lover of a fight
Ho[Dadd9]ld my own on the dark side of this [A]town
Yes I'm[Dadd9] tough as nails, got a heart of steel
I will n[A]ever fear 'cause I will never[F#m] feel
And[Dadd9] one more round will surely set me[E] right
I miss my Mary toni[A]ght
