Classic song...

Intro:  Am (hammer on index finger)  G    Dopen E   Am

Am                G
She grew up in an Indiana town
      Dopen E                      Am
Had a good lookin' momma who never was around
       Am                    G
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
          Dopen E                  Am
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night

Am                                 G
Well she moved down here at the age of 18
            DopenE                                Am
She blew the boys away, it was more than they'd seen
Am                                G
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
            DopenE                               Am
She said, "I dig you baby but I got to keep movin'"
Am      G    Dopen E    Am
...on, keep movin' on

Chorus:
Em6
Last dance with Mary Jane
                                A
One more time to kill the flame
Em6 (Em with your ring finger added on the B string on the 3rd fret)
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
                          A lift 3rd finger, add on B string on D note, then back to an 
and end on G
Tired of this town again

Am                   G
Well I don't know but I've been told
         Dopen E                     Am
You never slow down, you never grow old
Am                  G
I'm tired of screwing up, I'm tired of bein' down
Dopen E                               Am
I'm tire of myself, I'm tired of this town
Am                   G
Oh my my, oh hell yes
         Dopen E              Am
Honey put on that party dress
Am                        G
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Dopen E                           Am
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long

Em6
Last dance with Mary Jane
                                A
One more time to kill the flame
Em6 (Em with your ring finger added on the B string on the 3rd fret)
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
A lift 3rd finger, add on B string on D note, then back to an A and end on G
Tired of this town again


There's pidgeons down in Market Square
She's standin' in her underwear
Lookin' down from a hotel room
Nightfall will be comin' soon
Oh my my, oh hell yes
You've got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
