[Verse]
Am                        F 
We lease twenty acres and one Ginny mule 
E7               Am 
From the Alabama trust 
Am                           F 
For half of the cotton and a third of the corn 
E7                  Am 
We get a handful of dust
[Chorus]
    F                        C             G             Am 
We cannot have all things to please us, no matter how we try 
            F           C              G           Am  F  G  Am 
Until we've all gone to Jesus, we can only wonder why
[Verse]
Am               F 
I had a daughter called her Annabelle  
E7                    Am 
She's the apple of my eye 
Am                          F 
Tried to give her something like I never had 
E7                           Am 
Didn't want to ever hear her cry
[Chorus]
    F                        C             G             Am 
We cannot have all things to please us, no matter how we try 
            F           C              G           Am 
Until we've all gone to Jesus, we can only wonder why
[Solo]
F     C    G    Am
F     C    G    Am  F  G  Am
[Verse]
Am                                   F 
When I'm dead and buried I'll take a hard life of tears 
E7                       Am 
From every day I've ever known 
Am                               F 
Anna's in the churchyard she got no life at all 
E7                            Am 
She only got these words on a stone
[Chorus]
    F                        C             G             Am 
We cannot have all things to please us, no matter how we try 
            F           C              G           Am 
Until we've all gone to Jesus, we can only wonder why
[Outro]
F     C    G    Am
F     C    G    Am  F  G  Am
