Chord/Tab song: Anne Marie

[D]Sweet Anne Marie you know you a[G]re my hearts de[Em]sire
[D]Ive got two strong arms and a willing mind, but there
[G]aint no jobs for [Em]hire
[D]But I heard talk in Dublin j[G]ust the other [Em]week
[D]Of a land across the ocean where a [A]man can earn his [D]keep

Wont you [G]come [A]along with [D]me
My sweet Anne Marie
Wont you come along with me
My sweet Anne Marie

Your father secured our passage when spring arrived last year
In hopes that wed repay him once we made our fortunes here
Now my pockets are as empty as that feeling in your chest
But I heard talk of a railroad that theyre building way out west

Chorus

Driving spikes for the railroad did not work out like we planned
But pound for pound I know Im as good as any man
But theres silver in those hills, at least Ive been told
Its enough to make a working man worth his weight in gold

Chorus

For over twenty years Ive been digging in this ground
Youve proved to be the only jewel Ive ever found
But last month I met a man from the oil company
Now theres a commotion at the rig, come quick youd better see

Chorus


In the verses when you go from G to Em, do a walkdown and it'll sound better.
