Honey won't you ease those pistols down

[Verse 1]
G D Cadd9
First time I laid eyes on my Annie
G D Cadd9
I was in a bar in some old Delta town
G D Em
pouring red-eye whiskey, cheat'in Mississippi
C D
dealing from the bottom and laying aces down
G D Cadd9
I pulled up a chair there beside her
G D Cadd9
struck a match and offered her a light
G D Em
she asked me what I wagered hoping I might sway her
C D
I said depends if the winner gets to share your room tonight
[Chorus]
G D C
Annie take your fingers off those triggers
G D C
Honey won't you ease those pistols down
G B7 Em
whatever I have done that made you bitter
C D
well, there ain't no need to shoot me for it now
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
G D Cadd9
Well six months after one great night with Annie
G D Cadd9
I was cuttin' cards in Kingsport, Tennessee
G D Em
when those swinging doors swung open, my winning streak was broken
C D
in walked little Annie with her pistols aimed at me
G D Cadd9
She pulled up a chair there beside me
G D Cadd9
And I could tell her dress was fitting rather tight
G D Em
She said choose your words wisely, what you don't say just might be
C D
the reason that this baby gets to see his dad alive
[Chorus] x2
G D C
Annie take your fingers off those triggers
G D C
Honey won't you ease those pistols down
G B7 Em
whatever I have done that made you bitter
C D
well, there ain't no need to shoot me for it now
[Outro]
G D C
Annie take your fingers off those triggers
G D C
Honey won't you ease those pistols down
