Annabel Has A Doll chords by Paul Shapera

[Intro] Dm Bb A (x2)


Dm
And so around 3 AM,

A recently deceased man
Bb                                  A
Found himself wound in the land of living again

Dm
Bound in a body,

Of gears and wheels but oddly
Bb                                     A
He has no voice and his steel joints barely can bend

    Dm
The one sound he makes in fact

He streams radio broadcasts
    Bb                             A
He plays a country station if you give him a pat

     Dm
Our dearest Annabel is

Quite thrilled and ecstatic
    Bb                                  A
She has a friend who just was dead and yet she brought back


[Interlude] G D Em D
           C G Bb C

G          D
What may please does not content
Em         D
All resolves but never ends
C          G
All that comforts is not true
Bb
All you love does not love you


D          C           D              C
I have a dolly and we like to go on walks
            D                 C                  G
We like to stroll around the park all while he listens to me talk
           D               C             D           C
About the people and the places that I never got to see
          D                 C                   G
?Cause I wouldn't leave my house, but that's before he was with me

G           A                G           A                G
We share a world, which is wonderful to see it's like a dream
                A              C
where no one calls me failure if I don't succeed

D          C               D               C
I have a dolly it's like flowers in the spring
            D            C              G
And but no matter how I talk to him he never says a thing


G          D
What may please does not content
Em         D
All resolves but never ends
C          G
All that comforts is not true
Bb
All you love does not love you

D         C            D              C
I have a dolly and he goes with me outside
              D             C              G
which used to be a problem for me, oh but now I never mind
D               C           D                  C
Ice cream and carriages I always thought were nice
          D                C               G
But never had someone to share them with because the lab's my life

G               A                  G                A
Annabelle no friends you must be brilliant and the best
              G          A              A
You must be better and industrious, or you are worthless

     D           C            D                C
But now I have dolly a dear friend with whom I go
          D                 C                    G
Out for walks and talks but he's mute and just plays the radio


     D   A
Elysium
     Em                  F#m
The place the when your sorrows end
G          D              A
Why'd you bring me here again


D          C             D         C
I have a dolly who can keep me company
          D                   C               G
We go to shows, parades and cabarets though people stare at me
          D                 C                 D                 C
But I've shown that I am brilliant and I've conquered life and death
           D              C                G
The only thing my father said is that one must be a success

G             A                G               A
And now I've got a friend, a silent clockwork double
        G                A              A
Who can be there for me to lean on when I feel sad and troubled

D          C               D       C
I have a dolly, and he's very stabling,
           D                C               G
If not a little just too distant, cause he never says a thing


G         D
What you hold may wish to go
Em           D
What you believe may not be so
C          G
All that brings you piece of mind
Bb
May not stay for a long time

G          D
What may please does not content
Em         D
All resolves but never ends
C          G
All that comforts is not true
Bb
All you love does not love you


C                   F
Can't you speak to me?
C                   F
Won't you speak to me?
C                         Am
All the things we could share and conceive
    F
If you'd just speak to me


     D   A
Elysium
     Em                  F#m
The place the when your sorrows end
G          D
Why'd you bring me here
G             D
Oh why'd you bring me here
G           D             A
Why'd you bring me here again?
