I Miss My Mary2 Hal Ketchum
A threadbare al[Cadd9]ibi,
A lifetime full of pr[G]omise,
Fell from my Mary's eyes,
As she saw the screen door sw[D]ing,
The [Cadd9]baby never w[G]oke,
He lay cr[Em7]adled in her[Cadd9] trembli[G]ng,
He lay safe and never kn[Cadd9]owing,
What my l[D]eaving would br[G]ing,
(verse 2)
I draw my pay down on the d[Cadd9]ocks,
I send it off to M[G]ary,
I might hold back a dollar,
And wash this pain out of my b[D]ack,
But the p[Cadd9]ain keeps gettin' cle[G]arer,
And Mary your f[Em7]ace just keeps on[Cadd9] fad-i[G]n,
Now the light shines through this b[C]ottle,
Memor[D]ies all fade to bl[G]ack,
(chorus)
Well, I'll see y[Cadd9]ou out on the street tonight,
I'm a lover [G]of a drink, lover of a fight,
Hold[Cadd9] my own on the dark side of this t[G]own,
Yes, I'm tough[Cadd9] as nails, got a heart of steel,
I will never [G]fear, for I will never feel[Em7],
And one more [Cadd9]round would surely set me ri[D]ght,
I miss my Mary tonigh[G]t,[-] [Cadd9] [-] [D] [-] [Cadd9] [-] [G]
(verse 3)
They call me the old man in this bar,
Sleeves rolled up and showin,
Faint blue souvenirs of love and places I have been,
One says, U.S. Navy and this one says, Darling Mary,
Now my Mary's turned to ashes,
And the ocean's turned to gin,
(chorus)
Well, I'll see y[Cadd9]ou out on the street tonight,
I'm a lover [G]of a drink, lover of a fight,
Hold[Cadd9] my own on the dark side of this t[G]own,
Yes, I'm tough[Cadd9] as nails, got a heart of steel,
I will never [G]fear, for I will never feel[Em7],
And one more [Cadd9]round would surely set me ri[D]ght,
I miss my Mary tonigh[G]t,[-] [Cadd9] [-] [D] [-] [Cadd9] [-] [G]
