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

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

Pre-Chorus:
G   Am             Em
Annabelle, all the stories you tell
     F                           C
Are about bus stations and trains
            Am             Em
And all the folks you will never know well
      F                                            C
You remember by the names of the places from where they came

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

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

Pre-Chorus:
G   Am             Em
Annabelle, all the stories you tell
    F                            C
Are about bus stations and trains
            Am             Em
And all the folks you will never know well
    F                                              C
You remember by the names of the places from where they came

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

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

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

Pre-Chorus:
    Am             Em
Annabelle, all the stories you tell
    F                            C
Are about bus stations and trains
            Am             Em
And all the folks you will never know well
      F                                            C
You remember by the names of the places from where they came

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