Mail Order Annie Chords & Lyrics - Harry Chapin

Intro: [C] [Em] [Am] [F] [G] [G7]

At f[C]irst I did not [Em]think it could be y[Am]ou
But y[F]ou're the only one that got off the tr[G]ain [G7]
So [E]you must be my[E7] wife Miss Annie[Am] Halsey, yes, [Am7]yes
[F]I must be your husband. Y[G]es, I'm Harry [G7]Crane

[C]Mail order [Em]Annie, [F]never mind your [C]cryin'
Your tears are [Em]sweet rain in my [F]empty [G]life[G7]
[C]Mail order [Em]Annie, [F]can't you see I'm [C]tryin'
To [F]tell you that I'm [C]glad you're here
[F]You who are the [G]woman
Who's [F]come to [G]be my [C]wife

You [C]know you're not as [Em]pretty as I [Am]dreamed you'd be
But t[F]hen I'm not no handsome fancy [G]Dan [G7]
And [E]out here looks are [E7]really not [Am]important, no,[Am7] no
It's [F]what's inside a woman when she's [G]up against the [G7]land

[C]Mail order [Em]Annie, [F]never mind your [C]cryin'
Your tears are [Em]sweet rain in my [F]empty [G]life[G7]
[C]Mail order [Em]Annie, [F]can't you see I'm [C]tryin'
To [F]tell you that I'm [C]glad you're here
[F]You who are the [G]woman
Who's [F]come to [G]be my [C]wife [Em] [Am]

You [Am]know it's not no easy life you're [A#maj7]entering
The [Am]winter wind comes whistlin' through the crac[A#Maj7]ks there in the sod
You [Am]know you'll never have too many n[F]eighbours
There's [Am]you babe, and there's me,[Dm7] and there's [G]God[G7]

[C]You know I'm just a [Em]dirt man from the [Am]North Dakota plains
You're [F]one girl from the city who's been [G]thrown out on her own
And I'm [E]standing here not [E7]sure of what to [Am]say to yo[Am7]u
'Ceptin' [F]mail order Annie, let's [G]you and me go [G7]home

[C]Mail order [Em]Annie, [F]never mind your [C]cryin'
Your tears are [Em]sweet rain in my [F]empty [G]life[G7]
[C]Mail order [Em]Annie, [F]can't you see I'm [C]tryin'
To [F]tell you that I'm [C]glad you're here
[F]You who are the [G]woman
Who's [F]come to [G]be my [C]wife

[C] [Em] [Am] [F] [G] [G7]
