Intro - D, G x4

D                           G     D/F# Em
I met Annie Ford out on the Great West road,
D                   G              A
soaking through and thumbing for a ride.
D                                    G  D/F# Em
She sat there on her suitcase in her dancing dress
Bm                A                D
I would've been a fool to pass her by

          G                D
And as we sped accross the night
            Bm             G
We told our stories by the light
       D                  A
Of the stars that lead us home
             G
Each time we strayed
       G                 D
Me and Annie talked till dawn,
        Bm                    G
When we reached her old man's farm
      D                   A             G
And I said so long; guess I'll be on my way

D                              G   D/F# Em
I started meeting Annie by the old sawmill,
D                G               A
Wasting time and drinking in the day
D                              G     D/F# Em
Courting her was easy with her smile like that
Bm             A           D
Loving her was easy in the night

             G           D
Well, me and Annie set a date,
          Bm             G
And had a wedding in the spring
         D                    A                G
Man, you should've heard that old church choir sing
          G            D
It didn't take us very long,
          Bm        G
'till the baby came along
        D                 A            G  
Well we named him Tom and settled into life

       G                      D
But at night death came around,
          G              Bm    A   Gh
and Annie left without a sound

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