MY SWEET ANNETTE Am C G D Am C Me and my Annette, we was as fond as we could be G D We was set to marry in October 33 Am C I set my sights on courtin' her, as fine as she could be G D I never even noticed her best friend Marilee Am C Took a job at the saw mill and I bought my girl a ring G D Had a pre-wedding party, close friends and family Am C Everything was fine, eatin' homemade ice cream G D I swear I never noticed maid of honor, Marilee Am C G D My Sweet Annette was left standing at the al-tar. Am C G D My Sweet Annette was left standing at the al-tar. Am C Marilee was taken ill, it was several miles from home G D Back then it wasn't fittin' for a girl to leave alone Am C Sweet Annette, she asked me to walk her to the door G D As innocent as children back before the war Am C G D My Sweet Annette was left standing at the al-tar. Am C G D My Sweet Annette was left standing at the al-tar. Am C Lord have mercy for what we done G D Lord have mercy when two people get alone Am C Neither one of us had done anything like that you see G Em By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee, G Em By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee, G Em By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee, Am C G D Am C G D Am C G D Am C G D Am C G My Sweet Annette was left standing at the al-tar.
