lyrics

ANNIE Capo 4th fret

C F c
Frank (Butler) was the sharp est sharp shoot er east or west
G
Though man y laid odds they were bet ter
C F
Till a slip of a girl put his tit le to the test
G C
And got the best of him the day he met her.
F
Not a man knew what to think
C
They could only laugh and wink
E Am
At the quaker girl with the long brown hair
F G
And a rifle that looked the worse for wear.


Chorus
F C Am
Go ahead and ride and run and shoot your gun
F G
There’s a bull’s eye on my heart
F G C Am
You’re the surest girl in the whole wide world
F G
(You’re a) A spark of light, a living work of art,
F G C
Oh Annie girl/Annie, I knew it from the start

C F C
It was just as plain as that Thanks giv ing day
G
There wasn’t a mean bone in her

C F C
So pretty that Frank could bare ly bear to look a way
G C
Crossed his mind to let her be the win ner
F
He was on ly fool ing him self
C
She didn’t need no bod y’s help
E AM
She hit dead eye home the very first round
F G
And with every single turn she held her ground

Chorus

Bridge:
G f c
Another man might’ve run and hid to get beat by a girl
Dm f g
Shooting holes like it was nothing in the way he saw the world

C G
Just looking at her made his heart feel full
F G
And he glimpsed the truth he ‘d live to know
C F
That she could soothe a man wounded as Sit ting Bull
G C
Make Paris love a Wild West Show
F
what made final ly made him miss
C
Was picturing their first kiss
E Am
He lost to her but here’s the catch
F G
That’s the day he won the whole shoot ing match
Chorus
