[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

[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
