Drive-By Truckers – My Sweet Annette (Guitar)

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 to courtin' her, as fine as she could be

  G                      D
I never ever 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 altar

Am               C                        G   D
My Sweet Annette was left standing at the altar

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 altar

Am               C                        G    D
My Sweet Annette was left standing at the altar

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
My Sweet Annette was left standing at the altar
