[Verse 1]
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 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
