Tom: A
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m
Alone in the world was poor little Anne
D9 Bm5-/7 E7/13 E7 A Edim E7
As sweet a young child as you'd find
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m
Her parents had gone to their final reward
D9 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 E7 A Edim E7
Leavin' their baby behind
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m
This poor little child was only nine years of age
D9 Bm5-/7 E7/13 E7 A Edim E7
When mother and dad went away
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m
Still bravely worked at the one thing she knew
D9 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 E7 Fdim A
To earn her few pennies a day
Refrain one:
A7 D9 Bm5-/7 Dm6 A D9 A
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
D9 Fdim Bm5-/7 E7 A D9 Fdim A
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear
A7 D9 Bm5-/7
She made artificial flowers
Dm6 A C#m5-/7 F#7
You know those artificial flowers
D9 Dm6 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 E7 A
Fashioned from Annie's despair
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
D9 Bm5-/7 E7/13 E7 A Edim E7
She made up each tulip and mum
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
D9 Fdim Bm5-/7 E7 A D9 Fdim A
Her baby little fingers grew numb
Refrain two
A7 D9 Bm5-/7 Dm6 A D9 A
From makin' artificial flowers, artificial flowers
D9 Fdim Bm5-/7 E7 A D9 Fdim A
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear
A7 D9 Bm5-/7 Dm6 A D9 A
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
D9 Dm6 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 E7 A
Fashioned from Annie's despair
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m
They found little Annie all covered in ice
D9 Dm6 Bm5-/7 E7/13 E7 A Edim E7
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
D9 Bm5-/7 E7/13 E7 Fdim A Edim E7
And watered with all her young tears
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
D9 Dm6 Bm5-/7 E7/13 E7 A Edim E7
In heavenly gardens and bowers
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m
And instead of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
D9 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 E7 Fdim A D9 A
A garland of genuine flowers
Refrain three
A7 D9 Bm5-/7 Dm6
No more artificial flowers
Fdim A D9 A
Throw away those artificial flowers
D9 Fdim Bm5-/7 E7 Fdim A D9 Fdim A
Flowers for ladies of society to wear
A7 D9 Bm5-/7 Dm6 A C#m5-/7 F#7
Throw away those artificial flowers, those dumb-dumb flower
D9 Dm6 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 Fdim
Fashioned from Annie's,
D9 Dm6 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 E7 A
Fashioned from Annie's despair
Bm5-/7 Cdim A6
Give her the real thing
