MY SWEET ANNETTE
Am C G D
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 on courtin' her, as fine as she could be
G D
I never even 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 al-tar.
Am C G D
My Sweet Annette was left standing at the al-tar.

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 al-tar.

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,
