Chords with lyrics
For some reason all the chords I found of this song are in the key of G, but the song is actually in A.
Likewise, I couldn't find any that tabbed out the picking, so I did my best. The chords are all correct,
and the picking is as close as I could get, but play around with it.
CHORDS USED:
A: x02220
Dadd9: xx0230
E: 022100
F#m: 244222
D: xx0232
INTRO - A augmentedA
VERSE 1:
Dadd9Dadd9
A augmentedA threadbare alibi,
A augmentedA
A majorA lifetime full of promise
Fell from my Mary's eyes
E MajorE
As she watched the screen door swing
Dadd9Dadd9 A augmentedA
The baby never woke,
F# minorF#m Dadd9Dadd9 A augmentedA
He lay cradled in her trembling
Dadd9Dadd9
He lay safe never knowing
E MajorE A augmentedA
What my leaving would bring
VERSE 2:
Dadd9Dadd9
I draw my pay down on the docks
A augmentedA
Send it off to Mary
Might hold back a dollar
E MajorE
And wash this pain out of my back
Dadd9Dadd9 A augmentedA
But the pain keeps gettin' clearer
F# minorF#m Dadd9Dadd9 A augmentedA
And Mary your face just keeps on fading
D MajorD
Now the light shines through this bottle
E MajorE A augmentedA
Memories all fade to black
CHORUS:
Dadd9Dadd9
Well I'll see you out on the streets tonight
A. A.
I'm a lover of a drink, lover of a fight
Dadd9Dadd9 A augmentedA
Hold my own on the dark side of this town
Dadd9Dadd9
Yes I'm tough as nails, got a heart of steel
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
I will never fear 'cause I will never feel
Dadd9Dadd9 E MajorE
And one more round will surely set me right
A augmentedA
I miss my Mary tonight
INTERLUDE:
Dadd9Dadd9 - E MajorE - A augmentedA
VERSE 3:
Dadd9Dadd9
The call me the old man in this bar
A augmentedA
Sleeves rolled up and showin'
E MajorE
Faint blue souvenirs of love and places I have been
Dadd9Dadd9 A augmentedA
One says "US Navy"
F# minorF#m Dadd9Dadd9 A augmentedA
And this one says "Darling Mary"
D MajorD
My Mary's turned to ashes
E MajorE A augmentedA
And the ocean's turned to gin
CHORUS:
Dadd9Dadd9
Well I'll see you out on the streets tonight
A. A.
I'm a lover of a drink, lover of a fight
Dadd9Dadd9 A augmentedA
Hold my own on the dark side of this town
Dadd9Dadd9
Yes I'm tough as nails, got a heart of steel
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
I will never fear 'cause I will never feel
Dadd9Dadd9 E MajorE
And one more round will surely set me right
A augmentedA
I miss my Mary tonight
