[Intro]
Em C G C D Em
[Verse]
Em C G On the banks of the Missouri G C D Em Annie Washed up in the clay Em C G And they took her to her father G C D Em Told him it was John McCrae Em C G Now I'm running through the badlands G C D Em Covering my tracks Em C G Northward toward Dakota G C D Em With the devil on my back
[Chorus]
Am D G Oh, the river flows Am D G To our immortal home B7 Em Oh Annie, oh my soul
[Instrumental]
Em C G C D Em
[Verse]
Em C G Well I took her down by the stream side G C D Em For to make that girl my bride Em C G But in the fold of her pretty white dress G C D Em Lay her father's bowie knife Em C G Well she pulled that steel blade on me G C D Em Told me she would take my life Em C G So I pushed her into the river G C D Em She went under with the tide
[Chorus]
Am D G Oh, the river flows Am D G To our immortal home B7 Em Oh Annie, oh my soul
[Verse]
Em C G I am standing at the gallows G C D Em And the scaffold it is high Em C G And the hangman asked my last words G C D Em Before I'm condemned to die Em C G So I begged God, "Don't forgive me G C G Em for the trouble I have sown Em C G for I'll soon see my pretty Annie G C D Em in the hell fire down below."
[Chorus]
Am D G Oh, the river flows Am D G To our immortal home B7 Em Oh Annie, oh my soul
