i miss my mary Hal Ketchum
A threadbare alib[C]i...a lifetime full of pr[G]omise
Fell from my Mary's eyes as she saw the screen door sw[D]ing
The b[C]aby never w[G]oke...he lay cr[Em]adled in her tr[C]embl[G]ing
He lay safe and never kn[C]owing what my l[D]eaving would br[G]ing
(tacet) C G
I draw my pay down on the docks...I send it off to Mary
I might hold back a dollar and wash this pain out of my b[D]ack
But the p[C]ain keeps gettin' cl[G]earer and Mary your f[Em]ace just keeps on f[C]ad[G]in'
Now the light shines through this b[C]ottle...memor[D]ies all fade to bl[G]ack
CHORUS: Well, I'll see yo[C]u out on the street tonight
G (tacet) G (tacet)
I'm a lover of a drink, lover of a fight
Hold m[C]y own on the dark side of this town[G]
Yes, I'm tough [C]as nails, got a heart of steel
I will never [G]fear, for I will never feel[Em]
C D (tacet)
And one more round would surely set me right
G* | C | D C | G |
I miss my Mary tonight
(tacet) C G
They call me the old man in this bar, sleeves rolled up and showin'
Faint blue souvenirs of love and places I have b[D]een
[C]One says, "U.S. N[G]avy" and this [Em]one says, "Darling [C]Mar[G]y"
Now my Mary's turned to [C]ashes and the oc[D]ean's turned to g[G]in
2ND CHORUS: Well, I'll see yo[C]u out on the street tonight
G (tacet) G (tacet)
I'm a lover of a drink, lover of a fight
Hold m[C]y own on the dark side of this town[G]
Yes, I'm tough [C]as nails, got a heart of steel
I will never [G]fear, for I will never feel[Em]
C D (tacet)
And one more round would surely set me right
I miss my Mary tonight[G]
C D (tacet)
And one more round would surely set me right
G* | C | D C | G |
I miss my Mary tonight
