[Intro]
Am G Dsus2 Am (x4)
[Verse]
Am G
She grew up in an Indiana town
Dsus2 Am
Had a good-lookin' mama who never was around
Am G
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
Dsus2 Am
With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights
[Instrumental]
Am G Dsus2 Am (x2) w/harmonica
[Verse]
Am G
Well she moved down here at the age of eighteen
Dsus2 Am
She blew the boys away, was more than they'd seen
Am G
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
Dsus2 Am
She said, "I dig you baby but I got to keep movin'"
Am G Dsus2 Am
...on, keep movin' on
Am G Dsus2 Am
[Chorus]
Em7
Last dance with Mary Jane
Em7 A
One more time to kill the pain
Em7
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
Em7 A G
Tired of this town again
[Instrumental]
Am G Dsus2 Am (x2) w/harmonica
[Verse]
Am G
Well I don't know, but I've been told
Dsus2 Am
You never slow down, you never grow old
Am G
I'm tired of screwing up, I'm tired of going down
Dsus2 Am
Tired of myself, tired of this town
Am G
Oh my my, oh hell yes
Dsus2 Am
Honey put on that party dress
Am G
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Dsus2 Am
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long
[Chorus]
Em7
Last dance with Mary Jane
Em7 A
One more time to kill the pain
Em7
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
Em7 A G
Tired of this town again
[Solo]
Am G Dsus2 Am (x4)
[Verse]
Am G
There's pigeons down on Market Square
Dsus2 Am
She's standin' in her underwear
Am G
Lookin' down from a hotel room
Dsus2 Am
Nightfall will be comin' soon
Am G
Oh my my, oh hell yes
Dsus2 Am
You got to put on that party dress
Am G
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
Dsus2 Am
I hit my last number and walked to the road
[Chorus]
Em7
Last dance with Mary Jane
Em7 A
One more time to kill the pain
Em7
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
Em7 A G
Tired of this town again
[Outro]
