                  C                        G
 A threadbare alibi...a lifetime full of promise
                                                       D
 Fell from my Mary's eyes as she saw the screen door swing
      C          G              Em             C   G
 The baby never woke...he lay cradled in her trembling
                         C              D              G
 He lay safe and never knowing what my leaving would bring
 
 (tacet)                    C                        G
 I draw my pay down on the docks...I send it off to Mary
                                                          D
 I might hold back a dollar and wash this pain out of my back
          C                   G                    Em                 C G
 But the pain keeps gettin' clearer and Mary your face just keeps on fadin'
                                    C            D                 G
 Now the light shines through this bottle...memories all fade to black
                              C
    CHORUS:  Well, I'll see you out on the street tonight
                G (tacet)         G (tacet)
    I'm a lover of a drink, lover of a fight
          C                                    G
    Hold my own on the dark side of this town
                   C
    Yes, I'm tough as nails, got a heart of steel
                 G                            Em
    I will never fear, for I will never feel
                  C                              D (tacet)
    And one more round would surely set me right
                           G*   | C | D C | G |
    I miss my Mary tonight
 (tacet)                           C                           G
 They call me the old man in this bar, sleeves rolled up and showin'
                                                 D
 Faint blue souvenirs of love and places I have been
 C                G             Em                 C  G
 One says, "U.S. Navy" and this one says, "Darling Mary"
                         C               D                G
 Now my Mary's turned to ashes and the ocean's turned to gin
                                  C
    2ND CHORUS:  Well, I'll see you out on the street tonight
                G (tacet)         G (tacet)
    I'm a lover of a drink, lover of a fight
          C                                    G
    Hold my own on the dark side of this town
                   C
    Yes, I'm tough as nails, got a heart of steel
                 G                            Em
    I will never fear, for I will never feel
                  C                              D (tacet)
    And one more round would surely set me right
                           G
    I miss my Mary tonight
                  C                              D (tacet)
    And one more round would surely set me right
                           G*   | C | D C | G |
    I miss my Mary tonight
