I Miss My Mary Chords by Hal Ketchum

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] A threadbare alibi, _ _ a lifetime [A] full of promise, fell from my Mary's eyes as she saw the [E] screen door swing.
_ _ _ _ [D] The baby [A] never woke, he [F#m] lay cradled in [D] her _ [A] trembling. _ _ _
_ He lay safe and never [D] knowing what my [E] leaving _ [A] would _ bring.
I draw my pay down [D] on the dark side, I send it [A] off to Mary. _
I might hold back a dollar and wash this pain out of [E] my back. _
_ _ _ [D] But the pain keeps [A] getting clearer, and [F#m] Mary, your face just keeps [D] on [A] fading. _ _ _ _ _
_ Now the light shines [D] through this bottle, _ [G#] memories [E] all [A] fade to black.
_ _ Well [D] I see you out on the street [A] tonight, I'm a lover of a drink, a lover [C#m] of a [D] fight.
Hold my own on the dark side of [A] this town.
_ _ _ Yes [D] I'm tough as nails, got a heart of steel, [A] I will never fear, for I will never [F#m] feel. _ _
_ _ _ [D] One more round would surely set [E] me right, I miss my Mary [A] tonight. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [C#m] _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ They call me the old man in [D] this bar, _ _ sleeves rolled [A] up and show, _ _ faint blue _ souvenirs of
love and places I [E] have been. _
_ _ _ [A] _ [D] One says U [A].S. Navy, and [F#m] this one says [D]
darling [A] Mary. _ _ _ _ _
_ My Mary's turned [D] to ashes, and [E] the ocean's turned [A] to gin.
_ _ _ _ Well [D] I see you out on the street tonight, [A] I'm a lover of a drink, a lover [C#m] of a fight.
[D] Hold my own on the dark side of [A] this town.
_ _ _ Yes [D] I'm tough as nails, got a heart of steel, [A] I will never fear, for I will [F#m] never feel. _ _
_ _ Oh [D] and one more round would surely set [E] me right, I miss my Mary _ [A] tonight. _ _
_ _ _ [D] Yeah one more round would surely set [E] me right, I miss my Mary _ [A] tonight. _ _
