Mail Order Annie

Harry Chapin

Transposer:

_____________________________________________________________________________ My first contribution on here as I noticed this song was missing. It’s a beautiful song and straightforward to play albeit I use a capo at Fret1 because it suits my voice better. I also find these better chords to use than those Harry Chapin uses as he seems to play it open fret in D (you can achieve this with by putting the capo at Fret 2). The only other change is he changes key for the last verse but that doesn’t work for me. Anyhow here it is and I hope it works for you. PM _____________________________________________________________________________ Mail Order Annie (Harry Chapin) Fret 1 or 2 (Chapin plays it in D) Intro: At first I did not think it could be you But you’re the only one that got off the train So you must be my wife Miss Annie Halsey yes yes I must be your husband. Yes I’m Harry Crane Mail order Annie never mind your cryin’ Your tears are sweet rain in my empty life Mail order Annie can’t you see I’m tryin’ To tell you that I’m glad you’re here You who are the woman Who’s come to be my wife You know you’re not as pretty as I dreamed you’d be But then I’m not no handsome fancy Dan And out here looks are really not important no no It’s what’s inside a woman when she’s up against the land Mail order Annie never mind your cryin’ Your tears are sweet rain in my empty life Mail order Annie can’t you see I’m tryin’ To tell you that I’m glad you’re here You who are the woman Who’s come to be my wife You know it’s not no easy life you’re entering The winter wind comes whistlin’ through the cracks there in the sod You know you’ll never have too many neighbours There’s you babe and there’s me and there’s God You know I’m just a dirt man from the North Dakota plains You’re one girl from the city who’s been thrown out on her own And I’m standing here not sure of what to say to you ’Ceptin’ mail order Annie let’s you and me go home Mail order Annie never mind your cryin’ Your tears are sweet rain in my empty life Mail order Annie can’t you see I’m tryin’ To tell you that I’m glad you’re here You who are the woman Who’s come to be my wife

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui accueille sa nouvelle épouse, une femme qu'il a rencontrée par correspondance. Il exprime ses doutes et ses incertitudes face à leur amour, tout en reconnaissant que le physique n'est pas ce qui compte le plus. Lui, un homme simple vivant en milieu rural, et elle, une jeune femme urbaine, doivent s'adapter l'un à l'autre dans un environnement où la solitude prédomine. Le contexte est celui de la vie rurale et des difficultés qui l'accompagnent. L'hiver qui s'annonce et l'absence de voisins soulignent l'isolement du couple, tandis que la présence de Dieu est mentionnée comme un élément central de leur nouvel équilibre. C'est une réflexion sur l'amour, l'engagement et les défis d'une vie ensemble, d'une manière touchante et authentique.
