Intro (x3): D5  Dsus  D


    D5                         Dsus     D
The lone woman stands in the turning December
          D5                
She's got ice on her lashes
Dsus                    D
White at her winter coat
    D5                           Dsus
The trees stand like soldiers around her
        D
Dutiful wooden curse
       D5                      
And the heart she feared frozen
Dsus                         D 
Still beats and still marches on


    G    D/F# Em
Oh, Annie
       D                  Dsus          D
I will think of you each time I see the sun
           Em                D/F# 
Didn't want a day without you
    G                                  D5  Dsus  D
But somehow I've lived through another one


  D5                      Dsus
A gentlemen waits on a platform
             D
In a haze of gray and grief
        D5                    
Now he's sold up his assets
         Dsus      D
Starting over at 70
    D5                            Dsus
The steam blasts like trumpets around him
               D
Salutes on the colonnade
      D5                Dsus
As he thinks to himself:
                                D
"We're all waiting for our train to come"


    G    D/F# Em
Oh, Annie
       D                  Dsus          D
I will think of you each time I see the sun
           Em                 D/F# 
Didn't want a year without you
    G                                Gsus  G   Gsus  G  D 
But somehow I've lived through another one


Instrumental (x3): Gsus  G   Gsus  G   D


G
 Did you find it hard to breathe at first?
         Em
Were you wounded and in disbelief
At how much it hurt?
        G
Now the ache's still burning
        F
But the world's still turning
       A
Isn't it?


    G    D/F# Em
Oh, Annie
       D                   Dsus          D
I still think of you each time I see the sun
          Em                  D/F# 
Didn't want a life without you
    G                D5  Dsus  D
But here I am living one


Ending (x3): D5  Dsus  D
