[Intro]
D G x4
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Bridge]
G D
But at night death came around,
G Bm A G
and Annie left without a sound
D G x4
[Chorus 3]
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 G
Well I told the Lord ' I just don't think it's right'.
