#1. DBmF#mBm Alone in the world was poor little Anne, GEm7A7 As sweet a young child as you'd find. DBmF#m7Bm Her parents had gone to their final reward, GEm7A7DA7 Leavin' their baby behind.
#2. DBmF#m7Bm This poor little child was only nine years of age, GEm7AA7 when mother and dad went away. DBmF#m7Bm Still bravely she worked at the one thing she knew, GEm7A7D to earn her few pennies a day.
CHORUS: D7GEm7GmDGB7 She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers, GEm7A7DGD Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear. D7GEm7GmGm7DF#m7B7 She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers, GGmEm7A7D Fash..ioned from Annie's despair.
#3. With paper and shears, with some wire and wax, She made up each tulip and mum. As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room, Her baby little fingers grew numb. CHORUS: From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear. She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers Made from Annie's despair. #4. They found little Annie all covered in ice, Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears. Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand, And watered with all her young tears. #5. There must be a heaven where little Annie can play In heavenly gardens and bowers. And instead of a halo she'll wear round her head, A garland of genuine flowers. CHORUS: No more artificial flowers; Throw away those artificial flowers, Flowers for ladies of society to wear. Throw away those artificial flowers, Those dumb-dumb flowers, Fashioned from Annie's, fashioned from Annie's Despair.
