Intro -x4-: Am G Dsus2 Am

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

Interlude -x2-: Am G Dsus2 Am

Verse 2:
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

Interlude -x2-: Am G Dsus2 Am

Verse 3:
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 -x4-: Am G Dsus2 Am

Verse 4:
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
