ANNABELLE (Gillian Welch)
Track 2 from "REVIVAL" (Almo, AMSD-80006)



VERSE 1:
Am                        F
We lease twenty acres and one Ginny mule
E7               Am
>From the Alabama trust
Am                           F
For half of the cotton and a third of the corn
E7                  Am
We get a handful of dust

CHORUS:
    F                        C             G             Am
We cannot have all things to please us, no matter how we try
     F                  C              G           Am  F  C  G  Am  F  E7  Am
Until we've all gone to Jesus, we can only wonder why

VERSE 2:
I had a daughter called her Annabelle 
She's the apple of my eye
Tried to give her something like I never had
Didn't want to ever hear her cry

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
When I'm dead and buried I'll take a hard life of tears
>From every day I've ever known
Anna's in the churchyard she got no life at all
She only got these words on a stone

(CHORUS)
