This is how I was taught to play it and is correct. Listen to the song to get the rythem. Have Fun!

Am                G
She grew up in an Indiana town
      D                     Am
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around
        Am                   G
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
           D                  Am
With those Indiana boys on an Indiana night
         Am                     G
Well she moved down here at the age of 18
    D                                    Am     
She blew the boys away, it was more than they'd seen
       Am                    G     
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
           D                           Am     
She said, "I dig you baby but I got to keep movin'"
       Am
...on, keep movin' on

*Chorus
Em       
Last dance with Mary Jane
                               A
One more time to kill the pain
Em                                                         A   G
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again

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

*Chorus

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
I hit the last number, I walked to the road

*Chorus

I know theres more parts to it, but thats all I know

That's it! On each individual note play it four times. On each note during the chorus play it 16 times except for the last A note in the chorus. Only play that one eight times.
