Tom: E E [Verse 1] E If you want to see my girl E You better be ready, I'ma show you the world E On a beach and on the shore E I'll tell you a story and it's all about a pearl E Creamy white and crystal clear E It glistened in the sun, it had nothing to fear E Many came from near and far E There was nothing like the beauty that they saw [Verse 2] E I was sailing on the sea E There was nothing as far as I could see E When a vision of a girl E Blinded my eyes, she's as pretty as a pearl E Swam along with us awhile E I was hooked, I was smitten by her smile E When she traded me her heart E I took it from her hand [Chorus] A E Why'd you take my heart, Annie? A E What'd I do? A E Why'd you take my heart, Annie? E All you left me was a pearl [Verse 3] E As I looked into my palm E I was swallowed by the vision that I saw E In this pearl of perfect white E I saw us together in a union of delight E When I looked into her eyes E I saw nothing but the mirror of the skies E I dove deep into the cold E I was ready to be [Chorus] A E Why'd you take my heart, Annie? A E What'd I do? A E Why'd you take my heart, Annie? E All you left me was a pearl [Verse 4] E When they pulled me from the cold E I wondered why I'd never felt so old E For my hair had turned to white E I'd long been dead and so had my wife E She had died of a broken heart [Chorus] A E Why'd you take my heart, Annie? A E What'd I do? A E Why'd you take my heart, Annie? E All you left me was a pearl A E Why'd you take my heart, Annie? A E What'd I do? A E Why'd you take my heart, Annie? E All you left me was a pearl A E Why'd you take my heart, Annie? A E What'd I do? A E Why'd you take my heart, Annie? E All you left me was a pearl A E Why'd you take my heart, Annie? A E What'd I do? A E Why'd you take my heart, Annie? E All you left me was a pearl [Outro] E That's cool
