Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Intro: C G C A G D Verse: G Anna sits beside her research G Silence in the dappled moonlight C Sleeping cat and dying fire C Embers of the past conspire A All her books are closed and scattered A G D And she feels that nothing matters to her G
Outside this dream her sister frequents G Like a cobweb catching fragments C She approaches like a vision C She says "Anna, do you hear me?" A But the picture's always shuttered A G D All the distant thoughts that flutter to her Chorus: C I can see them all, I can hear them call C G And as she falls I lean to say good-bye C Breathing all the wasted hours C Talking to the dying flowers C Dwarfed by spires and tangled towers C D We don't ask the reason why Verse: G Anna comes and goes in shadows G Paintings of the open windows C Her photograph is always faded C Her sister's eyes are blank and shaded A Don't you understand her science A G D Merging in a strange alliance to her G We're together in the future G You and I and her together C All our fated are intermingled C We are plural, we are single A We are leaving for a meeting E Bm G D And last seen the weather sleeting for her Solo: C G C D A Chorus: A Anna comes and goes in shadows A Paintings of the open windows D Her photograph is always faded D Her sister's eyes are blank and shaded Bm Don't you understand her science Bm A E Merging in a strange alliance to her A We're together in the future A You and I and her together D All our fated are intermingled C We are plural, we are single Bm We are leaving for a meeting E A E A And last seen the weather sleeting for her Solo: A D Bm E A D Bm E A E A D Bm E Bm A
