Very good song!


Intro:
C--C--G--C pause (x2)

verse 1
G--C         G
And so, 
       C                 G      C     G
annie waits, annie waits, annie waits

C          Am--G       F       G
    for a call from a friend
     C
The same
G          C            G          C
Whats the same?  Is it always the same?
      Am   G          F   
Annie waits...for the last
C
Time

o-o-o

verse 2
    C      G
The clock
      C                 G        C
Never stops, never stops, never waits
             Am--G             F      G
She's growing old, its getting late
    C    G
And so,
      C             G       C
He forgot, he forgot, maybe not
Am              G         F
Maybe he's been seriously hurt
          C
That'd be worse

Intro Chords

Chorus
Dm (?)     F               
Headlights crest the hills
F               G                Dm
Shadows pass her by and out of sight
F             G
Ooh--OOh      
Dm      F              
Annie sleeps and dreams
F             G                  Dm
Friday bingo, pigeons in the park

F             G

C         G  F       C
Annie waits for the last time
C         G   F       C
Just the same as the last ti-ime
       F          G
Annie says, "You see,
        C             G         F
This is why I'd rather be alone" 
C      G........

    C
And so,
G      C                 G      C     G
Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits
      Am   G      F
For a call from a friend
    Dm            F
The same, Its the same
       G         Am     D
was it always the same
      F    G       C
Annie waits as the last....

(chorus 2--same chords)
Headlights crest the hills
Who will be the one forever more?
Ooh Ooh
Annie I could be
If we're both still lonely 
When we're old

Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last ti-ime
(Annie waits) Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last ti-ime

Annie waits....but not for me.
