Gm Bb F C

Gm                          Bb
Me and my Annette, we was as fond as we could be
F                        C
We was set to marry in October 33
Gm                                Bb
I set my sights on courtin' her, as fine as she could be
 F                      C
I never even noticed her best friend Marilee
       Gm                        Bb
Took a job at the saw mill and I bought my girl a ring
      F                        C
Had a pre-wedding party, close friends and family
Gm                          Bb
Everything was fine, eatin' homemade ice cream
  F                             C
I swear I never noticed maid of honor, Marilee

Gm                            Bb
Marilee was taken ill, it was several miles from home
     F                            C
Back then it wasn't fittin' for a girl to leave alone
Gm                             Bb
Sweet Annette, she asked me to walk her to the door
   F                         C
As innocent as children back before the war
Gm               Bb                        F     C
My Sweet Annette was left standing at the altar.

Gm                  Bb
Lord have mercy for what we done
F                        C
Lord have mercy when two people get alone
Gm                            Bb
Neither one of us had done anything like that you see
C                         Gm
By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee,

C                         Gm
