David Francey - Annie's House
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C
CHORUS:
F C
I went down to Annie's house
F C
Down the road and across the river
G F C
And I stood there in the warm sunshine
G C
And I wished that day would last forever
F C
And I look upon her face so fair
F C
And I cannot see what shadows lie
G F C
Behind the smile that lights her face
G C
Behind the kind and open eyes
CHORUS:
F C
And I went down to Annie's house
F C
Down the road and across the river
G F C
And I stood there in the warm sunshine
G C
And I wished that day would last forever
INTERLUDE: C F C G (2x) C
F C
And in these green New Hampshire hills
F C
The town lies nestled, clapboard white
G F C
Sits in silence, picture-still
G C
Sleeping in the warm sunlight
F C
And I walked down the empty street
F C
Can't see behind the window glass
G F C
Can't see the town that lies beneath
G C
Between the present and the past
CHORUS:
F C
And I went down to Annie's house
F C
Down the road and across the river
G F C
And I stood there in the warm sunshine
G C
And I wished that day would last forever
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G (4x) C
F C
I stood upon a rounded rock
F C
And I stood upon the flowing water
G F C
And I was safe and warm within
G C
The kindness of the postman's daughter
CHORUS:
F C
And I went down to Annie's house
F C
Down the road and across the river
G F C
And I sat there in the warm sunshine
G C
And I wished the day would last forever
