Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. Hoo, hoo, hoo. I've been haunted in my sleep. You've been staring in my dreams. Lord, I miss you. I've been waiting in the hall. Been waiting on your call. When the phone rings. It's just some friends of mine that say, hey, what's the matter man? We're gonna come around at twelve. With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dying to meet you. We're gonna bring a case of wine, Hey ya know we're gonna fool around, you know, like we USEd to. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah.

I've been walkin Central Park, singing after dark. People think I'm crazy. I've been stumbling on my feet, shuffeling through the street. Asking people, whatsamatta wichu boy? Sometimes I want to say to myself, sometimes I say... Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. Hoo, hoo, hoo. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah. I won't miss you child. I guess I'm lying to myself. It's just you, and no one else. Lord, I won't miss you child. You've been blotting out my mind, fooling on my time. No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah. Lord, I miss you child. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah. Lord, I miss you child. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah. Lord, I miss you child.

GUITAR-SOLO: ------------ I don't usually transcribe solos but this one is very easy so... bend these notes slightly. |-------------------| | B5 | E|----------------------------------------------------- B|----------------------------------------------7------ G|--9--9--9-9--9-9-9-9--9-7----9-9-9-9-7-7--9-9---9-7-- D|--------------------------7-------------------------- A|----------------------------------------------------- E|----------------------------------------------------- A5 B5 E------------------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------7----------| G--7-5----7-----7-5----5-----9--7--9--7--9----9-7------| D------7----5-------7----7------------------------9----| A------------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------| This solo might not be very accurate but it should give you the general idea.

Am G Dsus2 Am x4

Am G

She grew up in an Indiana town

D Am

Had a good lookin' momma who never was

around

Am G

But she grew up tall and she grew up right

D Am

With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night

(repeat intro w/harp (x2) [Use G Harp!!])

Well she moved down here at the age of 18

She blew the boys away, it was more than they'd

seen

I was introduced and we both started groovin'

She said, "I dig you baby but I got to keep

movin'

...on, keep movin' on

Em7 A

Last dance with Mary Jane, One more time to

kill the pain

Em7 A G

I feel summer creepin' in and I'm Tired of this

town again

(repeat intro w/harp) x2

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 goin' down

I'm tire 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

Em7 A

Last dance with Mary Jane, One more time to

kill the pain

Em7 A G

I feel summer creepin' in and I'm Tired of this

town again

(guitar solo over intro progression) (x8)

There's pigeons down in Market Square

She's standing in her underwear

Lookin' down from a hotel room

Nightfall will be coming 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

Em7 A

Last dance with Mary Jane, One more time to

kill the pain

Em7 A G

I feel summer creepin' in and I'm Tired of this

town again
