Chord/Tab song: Annalee

By Ellis Paul

Im skippin[C] stones at the edge of the dock[G]
A fo[Am]g came rollin in, quiet like a ha[F]wk
The river[C]s so smooth, it could shatter with a rock[G]
It fe[Am]lt like I was walking on water[C][F]

Then the doctors daughter came and dove right in
Lord almighty, shes in nothing but skin
I could turn my head but she may never come again
Shes filling the sky with her laughter

Chorus
Annalee, A[C]nnalee[G]
Youre shaking t[Am]he timbers youre rattling the leaves[F]
Theres a full moon[C] rising in front of me[G]
Come and stake your c[Am]laim on my memory[C][F]
Annalee, Annalee
Did the good Lord send you down to deliver me
Come lay your head in a bed of leaves
I am here, I am yours for the taking

Well around about midnight on a riverboat ride
Im a mandolin jukebox and Annies at my side
One bottle empty, one waiting like a bride
Shes dancing like light on the water

Weve got six weeks till college, six weeks and then were gone
Oh, life is like a river and the rivers rolling on
So come on, Annie, you taste like brandy
Will you kiss me awake come morning?

Chorus

Bridge
[C]I cant promise a lifetime [Am]of tomorrows

[F]What tomorrow brings God only knows[G]
I know this abo[C]ut tomorrow, were filling it with sorrow[Am]
If we [F]let tonight just end[G]

Chorus
