Hal Ketchum - I Miss My Mary Ukulele Chords

INTRO - A

VERSE 1:
                  Dadd9
A threadbare alibi,
                    A
A lifetime full of promise

Fell from my Mary's eyes
                                E
As she watched the screen door swing
    Dadd9       A
The baby never woke,
        F#m           Dadd9  A
He lay cradled in her trembling
                   Dadd9
He lay safe never knowing
         E             A
What my leaving would bring

 

VERSE 2:
                         Dadd9
I draw my pay down on the docks
                A
Send it off to Mary

Might hold back a dollar
                              E
And wash this pain out of my back
       Dadd9                A
But the pain keeps gettin' clearer
              F#m               Dadd9  A
And Mary your face just keeps on fading
                                   D
Now the light shines through this bottle
     E               A
Memories all fade to black

 

CHORUS:
         Dadd9
Well I'll see you out on the streets tonight
       A.                A.
I'm a lover of a drink, lover of a fight
  Dadd9                              A
Hold my own on the dark side of this town
       Dadd9
Yes I'm tough as nails, got a heart of steel
        A                            F#m
I will never fear 'cause I will never feel
   Dadd9                             E
And one more round will surely set me right
                   A  
I miss my Mary tonight

 

INTERLUDE:
Dadd9 - E - A

 

VERSE 3:
                              Dadd9
The call me the old man in this bar
                       A
Sleeves rolled up and showin'
                                                E
Faint blue souvenirs of love and places I have been
  Dadd9    A
One says "US Navy"
         F#m            Dadd9  A
And this one says "Darling Mary"
                     D
My Mary's turned to ashes
         E                A
And the ocean's turned to gin

 

CHORUS:
         Dadd9
Well I'll see you out on the streets tonight
       A.                A.
I'm a lover of a drink, lover of a fight
  Dadd9                              A
Hold my own on the dark side of this town
       Dadd9
Yes I'm tough as nails, got a heart of steel
        A                            F#m
I will never fear 'cause I will never feel
   Dadd9                             E
And one more round will surely set me right
                   A  
I miss my Mary tonight
