Intro
[G] [Gsus4] [G] [Gsus4] [G] [Gsus4] [G]
Verse 1
[G]A threadbare [C]alibi, a lifetime full of [G]promise
Fell from my Mary's eyes as she saw the screen door [D]swing
The [C]baby never [G]woke, he lay [Em]cradled in her [C][G]trembling
He lay safe and never [C]knowing what my [D]leaving would [G][Gsus4]bring[G]
Verse 2
[G]I draw my pay down on the [C]docks, I send it off to [G]Mary
I might hold back a dollar and wash this pain out of my [D]back
But the [C]pain keeps getting [G]clearer and Mary your [Em]face just keeps on [C][G]fading
Now the light shines through this [C]bottle, [D]memories all fade to [G]black
Chorus
Well, I'll [C]see you out on the street tonight
I'm a [G]lover of a drink, [G]lover of a fight
[C]Hold my own on the dark side of this [G]town
Yes, I'm [C]tough as nails, got a heart of steel
I will [G]never fear, for I will never [Em]feel
And [C]one more round would surely set me [D]right
I miss my Mary [G]tonight
Instrumental

Verse 3
They call me the old man in this [C]bar, my sleeves rolled up and [G]showing
Faint blue souvenirs of love and places I have [D]been
[C]One says, "U.S. [G]Navy," and this [Em]one says "Darling [C][G]Mary"
Now, my Mary's turned to [C]ashes and the [D]ocean's turned to [G]gin
Chorus
Well, I'll [C]see you out on the street tonight
I'm a [G]lover of a drink, [G]lover of a fight
[C]Hold my own on the dark side of this [G]town
Yes, I'm [C]tough as nails, got a heart of steel
I will [G]never fear, for I will never [Em]feel
And [C]one more round would surely set me [D]right
I miss my Mary [G]tonight
Yeah, [C]one more round would surely set me [D]right
I miss my Mary [G]tonight
