[Primeira Parte]
Em7 C9 G
On the banks of the Missouri
C9 D4 Em7
Annie washed up in the clay
Em7 C9 G
And they took her to her father
C9 D4 Em7
Told him it was John McCrae
Em7 C9 G
Now I'm running through the badlands
C9 D4 Em7
Covering my tracks
Em7 C9 G
Northward toward Dakota
C9 D4 Em7
With the devil on my back
[Refrão]
Am7 D4 G
Oh, the river flows
Am7 D4 G
To our immortal home
To our immortal home, it flows to our home
B7 Em7
Oh Annie, oh my soul
( Em7 C9 G )
( C9 D4 Em7 )
[Segunda Parte]
Em7 C9 G
Well I took her down by the stream side
C9 D4 Em7
For to make that girl my bride
Em7 C9 G
But in the folds of her pretty white dress
C9 D4 Em7
Lay her father's bowie knife
Em7 C9 G
Well she pulled that steel blade on me
C9 D4 Em7
Told me she would take my life
Em7 C9 G
So I pushed her into the river
C9 D4 Em7
She went under with the tide
[Refrão]
Am7 D4 G
Oh, the river flows
Am7 D4 G
To our immortal home
To our immortal home, it flows to our home
B7 Em7
Oh Annie, oh my soul

[Terceira Parte]
Em7 C9 G
Well the hound dogs they overtook me
C9 D4 Em7
40 miles past Harding town
Em7 C9 G
And I told that young Douglas sherriff
C9 D4 Em7
"Boy, you'd better shoot me now."
Em7 C9 G
He said "Poor Johnny, by my orders
C9 D4 Em7
Your life I cannot take
Em7 C9 G
But I'll be smiling at your hanging
C9 D4 Em7
When they lay you in the grave."
[Refrão]
Am7 D4 G
Oh, the river flows
Am7 D4 G
To our immortal home
To our immortal home, it flows to our home
B7 Em7
Oh Annie, oh my soul

[Quarta Parte]
Em7 C9 G
I am standing at the gallows
C9 D4 Em7
And the scaffold it is high
Em7 C9 G
And the hangman asked my last words
C9 D4 Em7
Before I'm condemned to die
Em7 C9 G
And I begged God, "Don't forgive me
C9 D4 Em7
For the troubles I have sown
Em7 C9 G
For I'll soon see my pretty Annie
C9 D4 Em7
In the hell fire down below."
[Refrão]
Am7 D4 G
Oh, the river flows
Am7 D4 G
To our immortal home
To our immortal home, it flows to our home
B7 Em7
Oh Annie, oh my soul
[Final]
B7 Em7 C9 G
Oh Annie, oh my soul
B7 Em7
Oh Annie, oh my soul
