[Intro 1]
[D][F#m][Em][G][D][F#m][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]At first
I did not [F#m]think it could [G]be you.
But [Em]you're the only one that
got off the [A]train.[D][A]
So [F#]you must be my wife
Miss Annie Hal[Bm]sey
Yes, [Em]I guess I am your husband,
Hello I'm [D]Harry [A]Crane.
[D]Mail Order An[F#m]nie,
[G]never mind your cry[D]ing.
Your tears are sweet [F#m]rain
in [G]my empty [A]life.[D]
Mail Order An[F#m]nie,
[G]can't you see I'm try[D]ing
To [Em]tell you that I'm [D]glad you're here,
[Em]You are the woma[A]n who's come[G] to be m[Em]y
[D]wife.[F#m][Em][G][D]
You know you're not [F#m]as pretty
as I [G]dreamed you'd be,
But [Em]then I'm not no handsome
fancy [A]Dan.[Asus4][A][G]
[F#]And out here looks are really
not [Bm]important.
[Em]It's what's inside a woman
when she's [A]up again[G]st [A]the land.[D]
Mail Order [F#m]Annie,
[G]never mind your cry[D]ing.
Your tears are sweet [F#m]rain
in [G]my [Em]empty [A]life.[D]
Mail Order [F#m]An nie,
[G]can't you see I'm try[D]ing
To [Em]tell you that I'm [D]glad you're [Bm]here,
[Em]You are the woma[A]n who's come[G]
to [Em]be my [D]wife.[Bm]
You know it's not no easy
life you're [C]entering.
The [Bm]winter wind comes whistling through
[C]the cracks there in the sod.
You [Bm]know you'll never have
too many [G]neighbors.
There's [Bm]you Girl, [Em]and there's me,
and there's [F]God.[F#m][Bsus4][E]
You know I'm just a [G#m]dirty man from
the [A]North Dakota plains.
You're [F#m]one girl from the city
who's been [Bsus4]thrown out on he[B]r own.
I'm [G#]standing here not sure of
what to [C#m]say to you
'Cepting [F#m]Mail Order Annie,
lets [Bm]you and me go h[Bsus4]ome.[B][E]
Mail Order [G#m]Annie,
[A]never mind you[E]r crying.
Your tears are sweet [G#m]rain
in my [A]empty [B]life.[E]
Mail Order [G#m]Annie,
[A]can't you see I'm try[E]ing
To [F#m]tell you that I'm g[E]lad you're h[C#m]ere,
[F#m]You are the woman [B]who's come t[A]o be my [F#m]wife.
