Note: The song begins with just the guitar playing the verse chords twice. Listen to the song to get the up strum parts etc. 
 
Am                       G 
She grew up in an Indiana town 
 
D                                                
She had a good looking mama   
 
Am 
Who never was around 
 
But she grew up tall 
She grew up right 
With them Indiana boys  
On an Indiana night 
 
(Harmonica part) 
 
She came down here at the age of 18 
She blew the boys away - was more than they'd seen 
We were introduced and we both started groovin' 
She said I dig you baby - But I gotta keep movin' - on - keep movin' on 
 
Chorus: 
Em		                             A6 
Last dance with Mary Jane - One more time to kill the pain 
 
Em	                                         A6    G 
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again 
 
(Harmonica part) 
 
Well I don't know - but I've been told 
You never slow down - you never grow old 
I'm tired of screwing up - tired of going down 
Tired of myself - tired of this town 
Oh my my - Oh hell yes  - Honey put on that party dress 
Buy me a drink and play me a song 
Take me as I came - cause I can't stay long 
 
Chorus 
 
Guitar solo: 
 
E|-------------------|--------------------|

D|-----7--5-----5--7-|-----7--5-----5-----|  x2  
G|-----------7-------|-----------7-----7--| 
B|-------------------|--------------------| 
E|-------------------|--------------------| 
  
The next part in the guitar solo I havn?t figured out yet. It goes a bit higher. If you listen to the song you might be able to get it.  
 
There's pigeons down on Market Square 
She's standing there in her underwear 
Looking out of a hotel room 
The nightfall will be coming soon 
Oh my my - Oh hell yes - You gotta put on that party dress 
It was cold when I woke up alone 
I played my last nickel and walked to the road 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Note:  If you don?t play the harmonica, the harmonica part is something like this on guitar:   
 
E|-------------------|------------------------| 
A|--5----------------|--5---------------------| 
D|-----7--5--4-------|-----7--5--4--5--4?-----|  Play this as many times as needed 
G|--------------7----|--------------------5--7| 
B|-------------------|------------------------| 
E|-------------------|------------------------|
