TOM PETTY - "Mary Janes Last Dance" Tablature
Official TOM PETTY Tablature & Sheet Music »
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
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.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TOM PETTY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
