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

CAPO 5

VERSE 1:
Em                        C
We lease twenty acres and one Ginny mule
B7               Em
>From the Alabama trust
Em                           C
For half of the cotton and a third of the corn
B7                  Em
We get a handful of dust

CHORUS:
    C                        G             D             Em
We cannot have all things to please us, no matter how we try
     C                  G              D           Em  C  D  Em 
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)
