G
(verse 1)
C9
A threadbare alibi,
G
A lifetime full of promise,
Fell from my Mary's eyes,
D
As she saw the screen door swing,
C9 G
The baby never woke,
Em7 C9 G
He lay cradled in her trembling,
C9
He lay safe and never knowing,
D G
What my leaving would bring,
(verse 2)
C9
I draw my pay down on the docks,
G
I send it off to Mary,
I might hold back a dollar,
D
And wash this pain out of my back,
C9 G
But the pain keeps gettin' clearer,
Em7 C9 G
And Mary your face just keeps on fad-in,
C
Now the light shines through this bottle,
D G
Memories all fade to black,
(chorus)
C9
Well, I'll see you out on the street tonight,
G
I'm a lover of a drink, lover of a fight,
C9 G
Hold my own on the dark side of this town,
C9
Yes, I'm tough as nails, got a heart of steel,
G Em7
I will never fear, for I will never feel,
C9 D
And one more round would surely set me right,
G- C9- D- C9- G
I miss my Mary tonight,
(verse 3)
