Intro - D, G x4

D (xx0232@1)                         G (320003@1)   D/F#Em
I met Annie Ford out on the Great West road,
D (xx0232@1)                 G (320003@1)            Asoaking (x02220@1)through and thumbing for a ride.
D (xx0232@1)                                  G (320003@1)D/F#Em
She sat there on her suitcase in her dancing dress
Bm (x24432@1)              A (x02220@1)              DI (xx0232@1)would've been a fool to pass her by

G (320003@1)              DAnd (xx0232@1)as we sped accross the night
            Bm (x24432@1)           GWe (320003@1)told our stories by the light
       D (xx0232@1)                AOf (x02220@1)the stars that lead us home
             GEach (320003@1)time we strayed
       G (320003@1)               DMe (xx0232@1)and Annie talked till dawn,
        Bm (x24432@1)                  GWhen (320003@1)we reached her old man's farm
      D (xx0232@1)                 A (x02220@1)           GAnd (320003@1)I said so long; guess I'll be on my way

D (xx0232@1)                            G (320003@1) D/F#Em
I started meeting Annie by the old sawmill,
D (xx0232@1)              G (320003@1)             AWasting (x02220@1)time and drinking in the day
D (xx0232@1)                            G (320003@1)   D/F#Em
Courting her was easy with her smile like that
Bm (x24432@1)           A (x02220@1)         DLoving (xx0232@1)her was easy in the night

G (320003@1)         DWell, (xx0232@1)me and Annie set a date,
          Bm (x24432@1)           GAnd (320003@1)had a wedding in the spring
         D (xx0232@1)                  A (x02220@1)              GMan, (320003@1)you should've heard that old church choir sing
          G (320003@1)          DIt (xx0232@1)didn't take us very long,
          Bm (x24432@1)      G'till (320003@1)the baby came along
        D (xx0232@1)               A (x02220@1)          G (320003@1)
Well we named him Tom and settled into life

G (320003@1)                    DBut (xx0232@1)at night death came around,
          G (320003@1)            Bm (x24432@1)  A (x02220@1) Gh
and Annie left without a sound
