Intro:
FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF

Verse 1:
          C majorC
That old woman from Dove Creek Colorado
FF               C majorC
On her way to see her mom one more time
FF           C majorC
Looking for an answer or some kind of cure
    FF              G+G
For the loneliness she'd had in her heart all her life

Verse 2:
FF                 C majorC
You left the hard part up to her, trying to put it all into words
FF               C majorC
Measuring the miles behind her eyes
FF               C majorC
Hopin' she don't turn to you, wondering where you're running off to
       FF                 G+G
If she don't ask no questions you won't have to tell no lies

Pre-Chorus:
G+G  A minorAm       E minorEm
Annabelle, all the stories you tell
   FF              C majorC
Are about bus stations and trains
      A minorAm       E minorEm
And all the folks you will never know well
   FF                      C majorC
You remember by the names of the places from where they came

Chorus:
   A minorAm             E minorEm
Now I listen like a child, as you recount the trials
  FF                   G+G
Of strangers who are closer than your own kin
    A minorAm              E minorEm
You can leave your coat on, ‘cause I know it won't be long
     FF      G+G     C majorC
Till you slip out the back door again

Verse 3:
FF                C majorC
Spending all your time in bars, trading smiles for stories of the war
FF                     C majorC
In truckstops and motels I know you can't afford
FF             C majorC
What would I ever do if I heard something happened to you
  FF              G+G
Or worse, if I hear nothing at all

Pre-Chorus:
G+G  A minorAm       E minorEm
Annabelle, all the stories you tell
  FF              C majorC
Are about bus stations and trains
      A minorAm       E minorEm
And all the folks you will never know well
  FF                       C majorC
You remember by the names of the places from where they came

Chorus:
   A minorAm             E minorEm
Now I listen like a child, as you recount the trials
  FF                   G+G
Of strangers who are closer than your own kin
    A minorAm              E minorEm
You can leave your coat on, ‘cause I know it won't be long
     FF      G+G     C majorC
Till you slip out the back door again

Instrumental:
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm FF G+G A minorAm E minorEm FF C majorC

Verse 4:
FF             C majorC
Your one of a dying breed who only takes what they need
FF                      C majorC
And leaves the rest to the feast of the fools
FF                C majorC
When someone else along the way asks you to stop and stay
FF            G+G
And tell them a story or two

Verse 5:
       FF             C majorC
Tell them the one about the old man from Blue River
Arizona
FF                       C majorC
Who is tall and handsome in spite of his lazy eye
FF             C majorC
Never found no gold on the trail of old Coronado
   FF                G+G
Spent half of his life waiting on that quittin' time whistle to blow

Pre-Chorus:
  A minorAm       E minorEm
Annabelle, all the stories you tell
  FF              C majorC
Are about bus stations and trains
      A minorAm       E minorEm
And all the folks you will never know well
   FF                      C majorC
You remember by the names of the places from where they came

Chorus:
   A minorAm             E minorEm
Now I listen like a child, as you recount the trials
  FF                   C majorC
Of strangers who are closer than your own kin
    A minorAm              E minorEm
You can leave your coat on, ‘cause I know it won't be long
     FF      G+G     C majorC
Till you slip out the back door again
