Gentle Annie (Listen to midi)

(capo 1 st) D - A - D - G - D - A - D

D A D - G

1. Thou wilt come no more, gentle Annie,

D Bm A - A7

like a flower thy spirit did depart.

D A D - G

Thou art gone, alas! like the many

D A D

that have bloomed in the summer of my heart.

G D

Shall we nevermore behold thee,

Bm A - A7

never hear thy winning voice again,

D A D - G

when the Springtime comes, gentle Annie,

D A D

when the wild flowers are scattered o'er the plain?

D A D - G

2. We have roamed and loved mid the bowers,

D Bm A - A7

when thy downy cheeks were in their bloom.

D A D - G

Now I stand alone mid the flowers,

D A D

while they mingle their perfumes o'er thy tomb. + CHORUS

D A D - G

3. Ah! the hours grow sad while I ponder,

D Bm A - A7

near the silent spot where thou art laid,

D A D - G

and my heart bows down when I wander

D A D

by the streams and the meadows where we strayed. + CHORUS

D - A - D - G - D - A - D (Stephen Foster)
