Screen door slams, Mary's dress waves

There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
                                        Bm
They drive this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of
C
Burned-out Chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street
    Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
           D
And in the lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on
          C          D              G           C   D
Until you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind so Mary climb in
