Verse 1:
G        C                 D             G
Oh to be as the birds are: unburdened by loneliness
G          C               D                G
Oh to be a shining star so far away with no regret
G                  C           D           G
Oh to live in some photograph, smiling and in love
G                  C             D               G
Far from where you said all that shit about freedom

Chorus:

D          Am          G
Annie, put your weapon down
D         Am                   G
I saw you last night, you were runnin' round
     D            Am               G
With them coyotes hollering in the city streets
D                Am      G
They don't lay a hand on me

Verse 2:
G              C                D          G
Fancied myself the exception to almost any rule
G               C             D                   G
Youth is wasted on the young, I was exceptionally cruel
G                C
Like any person, I am insecure
          D                  G
You never judged me for that mountain
                           C
You gave me love, I wasn't woman enough
D                   G
I just drank up the fountain
Chorus:
D          Am          G
Annie, put your weapon down
D         Am                   G
I saw you last night, you were runnin' round
     D            Am               G
With them coyotes hollering in the city streets
D                Am      G
They don't lay a hand on me

D                Am     G
They don't lay a hand on me
D                Am     G
They don't lay a hand on me
