Intro: | [G] [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] | [G] (tacet)

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
[C] [D] [G] [Gsus4] | [G] (tacet)
He lay safe and never knowing what my leaving would bring

I draw my pay down on the d[C]ocks, I send it off to M[G]ary
I might hold back a dollar and was this pain out of my b[D]ack
But the p[C]ain keeps getting cl[G]earer and Mary your f[Em]ace just keeps on f[C]ad[G]ing
Now the light shines through this b[C]ottle, memor[D]ies all fade to bl[G]ack

CHORUS: Well, I'll s[C]ee you out on the street tonight
[G] (tacet) [G] (tacet)
I'm a lover of a drink, lover of a fight
H[C]old my own on the dark side of this t[G]own
Yes, I'm t[C]ough as nails, got a heart of steel
I will n[G]ever fear, for I will never f[Em]eel
[C] [D] (tacet)
And one more round would surely set me right
I miss my Mary ton[G]ight

INSTRUMENTAL: | [G] | [G] | [C] | [C] | [D] | [C] | [G] [Gsus4] | [G] |

They call me the old man in this b[C]ar, my sleeves rolled up and sh[G]owing
Faint blue souvenirs of love and places I have b[D]een
[C]One says, "U[G] .S. Navy,"[Em] and this one says [C]&q[G]uot;Darling Mary"
Now, my Mary's turned to [C]ashes and the [D]ocean's turned to g[G]in

CHORUS, then:

[C] [D] (tacet)
Yeah, one more round would surely set me right
I miss my Mary ton[G]ight

INSTRUMENTAL, then end on [G]
