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?
