Ken Maynard – Fannie Moore Guitar Chords

[Verse 1]
C                        F             C
Yonder stands a cottage, deserted and alone
     F           C            G     F   C
It's paths are neglected with grass overgrown
   C                             F             C
Go in and you will see some dark stains on the floor
 F             C        G    F      C
Alas it is the blood of fair Fannie Moore

[Verse 2]
   C                        F           C
To Fannie, so blooming, two lovers they came
    F             C          G      F       C
One offered young Fannie his wealth and his name
    C                         F             C
But neither his money nor his pride could secure
  F            C        G    F      C
a place in the heart of fair Fannie Moore

[Verse 3]
    C                           F           C
The first was young Randall, so bold and so proud
    F           C          G     F      C
Who to the fair Fannie his heart he had vowed
        C                         F           C
But his wealth and his house both failed to allure
    F              C        G    F      C
the heart from the bosom of fair Fannie Moore

[Verse 4]
    C                       F        C
The next was young Henry of lowest degree
   F            C          G  F         C
He won her fond love and enraptured was he
    C                     F             C
And then at the alter, he quickly did secure
    F             C        G    F      C
The hand with the heart of fair Fannie Moore

[Verse 5]
   C                    F           C
As she was alone in her cottage one day
     F            C               G  F     C
When business had called her fond husband away
      C                      F         C
Young Randall, a hotty, came in at the door
    F              C        G    F      C
And clasped in his arms the fair Fannie Moore

[Verse 6]
    C                                 F      C
Oh, spare me, oh, spare me, the young Fannie cries
      F             C             G   F     C
While tears swiftly flow from her beautiful eyes
C                                 F            C
"Oh no," cries young Randall, "go home to your rest,"
       F          C            G     F     C
And he buried his knife in her snowy white breast

[Verse 7]
   C                           F             C
So Fannie, so blooming, in her bright beauty died
      F          C          G    F    C
Young Randall, a hotty, was taken and tried
   C                       F           C
At length he was hung on a tree at the door
    F            C        G    F      C
For shedding the blood of fair Fannie Moore

[Verse 8]
      C                   F              C
Young Henry, the shepard, distracted and ...
    F       C            G   F      C
Did wander away from his own native farm
        C                               F              C
Till at length claimed by death, he was brought to the shore
    F            C       G    F      C     C
and layed by the side of fair Fannie Moore
