 Subject: To Greg Vaugn - Tab for "I Miss My Mary" by Hal Ketchum.
 This song has a similar tab and rhythm of my last submission
 so I thought I would crank this out real quick.
 "I Miss My Mary" written and performed by Hal Ketchum
 Brought to you by Nathan Board (nathan_board@orcom.com)
 
 Thanks to Mike Schweisthal [mschweis@u.washington.edu] for his
 earlier tab and chords to get me started.

 "I Miss My Mary"
 
 I seem to play this thing slightly different every time but this
 is a good start for all you pickers.  Still kind of a rookie at this
 so corrections and advice is welcome.

   Mary      to-        night
 
 (The rest of the song is a repeat of what's above)
 
 (From here down is included from Mike Schweisthal's previous submission)
 
                  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
