MY SWEET ANNETTE - https://youtu.be/gzzqelglxYM
 
[Intro]
Em   G   D   A   (x3)
 
[Verse 1]
Em                           G
Me and my Annette, we was as fond as we could be
D                        A
We was set to marry in October '33
Em                                 G
I set my sights on courtin' her, as fine as she could be
 D                      A
I never even noticed her best friend Marilee
 
[Verse 2]
       Em                        G
Took a job at the saw mill and I bought my girl a ring
      D                       A
Had a pre-wedding party, close friends and family
Em                           G
Everything was fine, eatin' homemade ice cream
  D                             A
I swear I never noticed maid of honor, Marilee
 
[Chorus]
Em               G                        D     A
My Sweet Annette was left standing at the altar
Em               G                        D     A
My Sweet Annette was left standing at the altar
 
[Interlude]
Em   G   D   A   (x2)
 
[Verse 3]
Em                            G
Marilee was taken ill, it was several miles from home
     D                            A
Back then it wasn't fittin' for a girl to leave alone
Em                              G
Sweet Annette, she asked me to walk her to the door
   D                         A
As innocent as children back before the war
 
[Chorus]
Em               G                        D     A
My Sweet Annette was left standing at the altar
Em               G                        D     A
My Sweet Annette was left standing at the altar
 
[Bridge]
Em                  G
Lord have mercy for what we done
D                        A
Lord have mercy when two people get alone
Em                            G
Neither one of us had done anything like that you see
D                         Bm
By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee
D                         Bm
By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee
D                         Bm
By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee
 
[Interlude]
Em   G   D   A   (x4)
 
[Outro]
Em               G                        D
My Sweet Annette was left standing at the altar

All good, just missing the G to Em walkdown between the end and beginning of a new loop. eg: Em, G, D, A, [walkdown 320xxx, 200xxx] Em, G, D, A, [walkdown]

NICE!, only thing is, its played w/ a capo on the 3rd fret, and the chords are Em, G, D, A, but if you wanna play it w/out a capo, then use the chords listed
