A F#m C#m7(b5) F#m
Alone in the world was poor little Anne
D9 Bm7(b5) E7(13) E7 A Eº E7
As sweet a young child as you'd find
A F#m C#m7(b5) F#m
Her parents had gone to their final reward
D9 Bm7(b5) E7 E7(13) E7A Eº E7
Leavin' their baby behind
A F#m C#m7(b5) F#m
This poor little child was only nine years of age
D9 Bm7(b5) E7(13) E7 A Eº E7
When mother and dad went away
A F#m C#m7(b5) F#m
Still bravely worked at the one thing she knew
D9 Bm7(b5) E7 E7(13) E7 FºA
To earn her few pennies a day
A7 D9 Bm7(b5) Dm6 A D9 A
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
D9 Fº Bm7(b5) E7 A D9 FºA
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear
A7 D9 Bm7(b5)
She made artificial flowers
Dm6 A C#m7(b5) F#7
You know those artificial flowers
D9 Dm6 Bm7(b5) E7 E7(13) E7A
Fashioned from Annie's despair
A F#m C#m7(b5) F#m
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
D9 Bm7(b5) E7(13) E7 A Eº E7
She made up each tulip and mum
A F#m C#m7(b5) F#m
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
D9 Fº Bm7(b5) E7 A D9 FºA
Her baby little fingers grew numb
Refrain two
A7 D9 Bm7(b5) Dm6 A D9 A
From makin' artificial flowers, artificial flowers
D9 Fº Bm7(b5) E7 A D9 Fº A
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear
A7 D9 Bm7(b5) Dm6 A D9 A
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
D9 Dm6 Bm7(b5) E7 E7(13) E7A
Fashioned from Annie's despair
A F#m C#m7(b5) F#m
They found little Annie all covered in ice
D9 Dm6 Bm7(b5) E7(13) E7 A Eº E7
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
A F#m C#m7(b5) F#m
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
D9 Bm7(b5) E7(13) E7 Fº A Eº E7
And watered with all her young tears
A F#m C#m7(b5) F#m
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
D9 Dm6 Bm7(b5) E7(13) E7 A Eº E7
In heavenly gardens and bowers
A F#m C#m7(b5) F#m
And instead of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
D9 Bm7(b5) E7 E7(13) E7 FºA D9A
A garland of genuine flowers
Refrain three
A7 D9 Bm7(b5) Dm6
No more artificial flowers
Fº A D9 A
Throw away those artificial flowers
D9 Fº Bm7(b5) E7 Fº A D9 FºA
Flowers for ladies of society to wear
A7 D9 Bm7(b5) Dm6 A C#m7(b5) F#7
Throw away those artificial flowers, those dumb-dumb flower
D9 Dm6 Bm7(b5) E7 E7(13) Fº
Fashioned from Annie's,
D9 Dm6 Bm7(b5) E7 E7(13) E7A
Fashioned from Annie's despair
Bm7(b5) Cº A6
Give her the real thing
