Start with single strums.

D                    E
You never crossed my mind
             A              D
As i crossed all of those borderlines

D                     E
Its an awful thing to say, im sorry
    A              D        Dm
But i was slipping away. I slipped away.

A          G          D
Mary-Lou's a drifter
                   E
Oh she bummed a roll-up and a ride
  A                 G                  D
And her southern drawl split those warm nights

 A               G
"Well its nice to meet you
    D             E                 A

   G                D               E
Oh come on kid lets give em' hell."
