[Am] [C] [G] [D]

[Am]Me and my Annette, we was as [C]fond as we could be
[G]We was set to marry in Oc[D]tober 33
I [Am]set my sights on courtin' her, as [C]fine as she could be
I [G]never even noticed her [D]best friend Marilee
Took a [Am]job at the saw mill and I [C]bought my girl a ring
Had a [G]pre-wedding party, close [D]friends and family
[Am]Everything was fine, eatin' [C]homemade ice cream
I [G]swear I never noticed maid of [D]honor, Marilee
[Am]My Sweet Annette [C]was left standing at the [G]al-[D]tar.
[Am]My Sweet Annette [C]was left standing at the [G]al-[D]tar.

[Am]Marilee was taken ill, it was [C]several miles from home
Back [G]then it wasn't fittin' for a [D]girl to leave alone
[Am]Sweet Annette, she asked me to [C]walk her to the door
As [G]innocent as children back [D]before the war
[Am]My Sweet Annette [C]was left standing at the [G]al-[D]tar.
[Am]My Sweet Annette [C]was left standing at the [G]al-[D]tar.

[Am]Lord have mercy for [C]what we done
[G]Lord have mercy when two [D]people get alone
[Am]Neither one of us had done any[C]thing like that you see
[G]By the next sunset, I had [Em]eloped with Marilee,
[G]By the next sunset, I had [Em]eloped with Marilee,
[G]By the next sunset, I had [Em]eloped with Marilee,

[Am] [C] [G] [D]
[Am] [C] [G] [D]
[Am] [C] [G] [D]
[Am] [C] [G] [D]

[Am]My Sweet Annette [C]was left standing at the [G]al-tar.
