Chords with lyrics

ANNABELLE (Gillian Welch)
Track 2 from "REVIVAL" (Almo, AMSD-80006)


VERSE 1:
A minorAm            FF
We lease twenty acres and one Ginny mule
E7E7        A minorAm
>From the Alabama trust
A minorAm              FF
For half of the cotton and a third of the corn
E7E7         A minorAm
We get a handful of dust

CHORUS:
  FF            C majorC       G+G       A minorAm
We cannot have all things to please us, no matter how we try
   FF         C majorC       G+G      A minorAm FF C majorC G+G A minorAm FF E7E7 A minorAm
Until we've all gone to Jesus, we can only wonder why

VERSE 2:
I had a daughter called her Annabelle
She's the apple of my eye
Tried to give her something like I never had
Didn't want to ever hear her cry

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
When I'm dead and buried I'll take a hard life of tears
>From every day I've ever known
Anna's in the churchyard she got no life at all
She only got these words on a stone

(CHORUS)
