Annabelle
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Am Am Am Am | E E E E | Am Am Am Am | E E E E
[Verse]
Am
They say I killed a man last night
But that could never be right
E
I was lying next to Annabelle
They said something ‘bout a game gone bad
Some man thought that he’d been had
Am
Lost his money and his horse as well
Then underneath a full moon
Outside the Last Chance Saloon
E
A shot rang out and a man lay in the street
A lone gunman figure In the shadows pulled the trigger
Am
And someone said he looked a lot like me
[Chorus]
F G Am
There’s a red light tonight on the prairie
F G Am
Shining from the Alec Arms Hotel
F G
But the brightest light I find
E Am
Is the one that shines behind
F E
The eyes of a girl named Annabelle
Wooo- ooooooo
[Bridge]
Am G F Am
Well the posse grew in size as the sheriff deputized
G F
Every man looking for a fight
Am G F Am
They turned the blood hounds loose And some man made a noose
G F G
He said I hope there’ll be a hangin’ here tonight
Am
A hangin’ here tonight
[Break]
Am Am Am Am | E E E E | Am Am Am Am | E E E E
[Verse]
Am
Well they kicked down the doors
Threatened all the whores
E
They’d turn them out if they didn’t tell
They pointed to the upstairs
Said you’ll find him up there
Am
Lying with his Annabelle
Every day I prayed She leave her lovin’ ways
E
Darlin’ won’t you come in off the street
Down on my knees I’m beggin’ you please
Am
Won’t you come with me and be my sweet
[Chorus]
F G Am
There’s a red light tonight on the prairie
F G Am
Shining from the Alec Arms Hotel
F G
But the brightest light I find
E Am
Is the one that shines behind
F E
The eyes of a girl named Annabelle
Wooo- ooooooo
[Bridge]
Am G F Am
Well I had no time to run When the sheriff pulled his gun
G F
And he stood there with his finger on the squeeze
Am G
She must have known he'd pull it
F Am
‘Cause she moved into that bullet
G F G
And Annabelle fell down to her knees
Am
She fell down to her knees
[Break]
Am Am Am Am | E E E E | Am Am Am Am | E E E E
[Chorus]
F G Am
There’s a red light tonight on the prairie
F G Am
Shining from the Alec Arms Hotel
F G
But the brightest light I find
E Am
Is the one that shines behind
F E
The eyes of a girl named Annabelle
Wooo- ooooooo
[Bridge]
Am G
Well I held her as she died
F Am
And aloud the sheriff cried
G F
I guess there’s one less whore in this town
Am G F Am
I drew my pistol from my side And shot him ‘tween the eyes
G F G Am
There’s one less sheriff there as well
[Outro]
F G Am
There’s a red light tonight on the prairies
