Chord Mail Order Annie by Harry Chapin

_____________________________________________________________________________ my first contribution on here as i noticed this song was missing . it’s a beautiful song and straightforward to play albeit i use a capo at fret1 because it suits my voice better . i also find these better chords to use than those harry chapin uses as he seems to play it open fret in D you can achieve this with by putting the capo at fret 2 . the only other change is he changes key for the last verse but that doesn’t work for me . anyhow here it is and i hope it works for you . pm _____________________________________________________________________________ mail order annie harry chapin fret 1 or 2 chapin plays it in D intro : C Em Am F G G7 C Em Am at first i did not think it could be you F G G7 but you’re the only one that got off the train E E7 Am Am7 so you must be my wife miss annie halsey , yes , yes F G G7 i must be your husband . yes , i’m harry crane C Em F C mail order annie , never mind your cryin’ Em F G G7 your tears are sweet rain in my empty life C Em F C mail order annie , can’t you see i’m tryin’ F C to tell you that i’m glad you’re here F G you who are the woman F G C who’s come to be my wife C Em Am you know you’re not as pretty as i dreamed you’d be F G G7 but then i’m not no handsome fancy dan E E7 Am Am7 and out here looks are really not important , no , no F G G7 it’s what’s inside a woman when she’s up against the land C Em F C mail order annie , never mind your cryin’ Em F G G7 your tears are sweet rain in my empty life C Em F C mail order annie , can’t you see i’m tryin’ F C to tell you that i’m glad you’re here F G you who are the woman F G C Em Am who’s come to be my wife Am A#maj7 you know it’s not no easy life you’re entering Am A#maj7 the winter wind comes whistlin’ through the cracks there in the sod Am F you know you’ll never have too many neighbours Am Dm7 G G7 there’s you babe , and there’s me , and there’s god C Em Am you know i’m just a dirt man from the north dakota plains F G you’re one girl from the city who’s been thrown out on her own E E7 Am Am7 and i’m standing here not sure of what to say to you F G G7 ’ceptin’ mail order annie , let’s you and me go home C Em F C mail order annie , never mind your cryin’ Em F G G7 your tears are sweet rain in my empty life C Em F C mail order annie , can’t you see i’m tryin’ F C to tell you that i’m glad you’re here F G you who are the woman F G C who’s come to be my wife C Em Am F G G7
