[Intro]
D F#m Bm7 D (2x)
[Verse 1]
At fDirst I did not F#mthink it could be Bmyou
But Emyou're the only one that got off the tArain A7
So F#you must be myF#7 wife Miss Annie BmHalsey, yes, yBm7es
EmI must be your husband. Yes, AI'm Harry A7Crane
[Chorus]
DMail order F#mAnnie, Gnever mind your Dcryin'
Your tears are F#msweet rain in my Gempty Ali-A7fe
DMail order F#mAnnie, Gcan't you see I'm Dtryin'
To Gtell you Emthat I'Dm glad you're here
GYou who are the Awoman
Who's Gcome to Embe my Dwife D F#m Bm7 D
[Verse 2]
You Dknow you're not as F#mpretty as I Bmdreamed you'd be
But tGhen I'm not no Emhandsome fancy ADan A7
And F#out here looks are F#7really not Bmimportant, no,Bm7 no
It's Gwhat's inside a Emwoman when she's up Aagainst the A7land
[Chorus]
DMail order F#mAnnie, Gnever mind your Dcryin'
Your tears are F#msweet rain in my Gempty Alife A7
DMail order F#mAnnie, Gcan't you see I'm Dtryin'
ToG tell you Emthat I'm Dglad you're here
GYou who are the Awoman
Who's Gcome to Embe my Dwife D Bm
[Verse 3]
You Bmknow it's not no easy life you're Cmaj7entering
The Bmwinter wind comes whistlin' through the cracCMaj7ks there in the sod
You Bmknow you'll never have too many nGeighbors
There's Bmyou babe, and there's me,Em7 and there's FGod A
[Verse 4]
EYou know I'm just a G#mdirt man from the C#mNorth Dakota plains
You're Aone girl from the city who's been Bthrown out on her own
And I'm G#standing here not G#7sure of what to C#msay to you C#m7
'Ceptin' Amail order Annie, let's Byou and me go B7home
[Chorus]
EMail order G#mAnnie, Anever mind your Ecryin'
Your tears are G#msweet rain in my Aempty Blife B7
EMail order G#mAnnie, Acan't you see I'm Etryin'
To Atell you F#mthat I'm Eglad you're here
AYou who are the Bwoman
Who's Acome to F#mbe my Ewife
