D5 G5 D5 E5
I met Annie Ford out on the Great West road,
D5 G5 A5
soaking through and thumbing for a ride.
D5 G5 D5 E5
She sat there on her suitcase in her dancing dress
B5 A5 D5
I would've been a fool to pass her by
G5 D5
And as we sped accross the night
B5 G5
We told our stories by the light
D5 A5
Of the stars that lead us home
G5
Each time we strayed
G5 D5
Me and Annie talked till dawn,
B5 G5
When we reached her old man's farm
D5 A5 G5
And I said so long; guess I'll be on my way
D5 G5 D5 E5
I started meeting Annie by the old sawmill,
D5 G5 A5
Wasting time and drinking in the day
D5 G5 D5 E5
Courting her was easy with her smile like that
B5 A5 D5
Loving her was easy in the night
G5 D5
Well, me and Annie set a date,
B5 G5
And had a wedding in the spring
D5 A5 G5
Man, you should've heard that old church choir sing
G5 D5
It didn't take us very long,
B5 G5
'till the baby came along
D5 A5 G5
Well we named him Tom and settled into life
G5 D5
But at night death came around,
G5 B5 A5 Gh
and Annie left without a sound

G5 D5 B5 G5
But the trouble with this life, is it doesn't last so long
D5 A5 G5
And your love can be divided overnight.
G5 D5
Now it's only me and Tom
B5 G5
Now our wife and mother's gone
D5 A5 G5
Well I told the Lord ' I just don't think it's right'.
