[Intro]
 D   Gx4
[Verse 1]
DI met Annie Ford out on the GGreat D/F#West Emroad,
Dsoaking through and Gthumbing for a Aride.
DShe sat there on her suitcase in her GdanD/F#cing Emdress
BmI would've been a Afool to pass her Dby
[Chorus 1]
And as we Gsped accross the Dnight
We told our Bmstories by the Glight
Of the Dstars that lead us Ahome
Each time we Gstrayed
Me and GAnnie talked till Ddawn,
When we Bmreached her old man's Gfarm
And I Dsaid so long; guess AI'll be on my Gway
[Verse 2]
DI started meeting Annie by the Gold D/F#sawmiEmll,
DWasting time and Gdrinking in the Aday
DCourting her was easy with her Gsmile D/F#like Emthat
BmLoving her was Aeasy in the Dnight
[Chorus 2]
Well, me and GAnnie set a Ddate,
And had a Bmwedding in the Gspring
Man, you Dshould've heard that Aold church choir Gsing
It didn't Gtake us very Dlong,
'till the Bmbaby came Galong
Well we Dnamed him Tom and Asettled into Glife
[Bridge]
But at Gnight death came aroundD,
and Annie Gleft without a BmsoundA  G  
 D   Gx4
[Chorus 3]
But the Gtrouble with this Dlife, is it Bmdoesn't last so Glong
And your Dlove can be Adivided overnighGt.
Now it's Gonly me and DTom
Now our Bmwife and mother's Ggone
Well I Dtold the Lord ' I Ajust don't think it's Gright'.
