D5 G5 E5 Sweet Anne Marie you know you are my heart's desire D5 I've got two strong arms and a willing mind, but there G5 E5 ain't no jobs for hire D5 G5 E5 But I heard talk in Dublin just the other week D5 A5 D5 Of a land across the ocean where a man can earn his keep G5 A5 D5 Won't you come along with me My sweet Anne Marie Won't you come along with me My sweet Anne Marie Your father secured our passage when spring arrived last year In hopes that we'd repay him once we made our fortunes here Now my pockets are as empty as that feeling in your chest But I heard talk of a railroad that they're building way out west Chorus Driving spikes for the railroad did not work out like we planned But pound for pound I know I'm as good as any man But there's silver in those hills, at least I've been told It's enough to make a working man worth his weight in gold Chorus For over twenty years I've been digging in this ground You've proved to be the only jewel I've ever found But last month I met a man from the oil company Now there's a commotion at the rig, come quick you'd better see Chorus In the verses when you go from G5 to E5 , do a walkdown and it'll sound better.
