# Date: 4/16/99; 12:59:28 PM From: Nathan_Board@orcom.com 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. Hal Ketchum "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. -Nate Chords used: G:320003 C:X32010 D:XX0232 Em:022000 INTRO: | G | G (tacet) | G G E

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,
