"Anne Marie"
Mark David Manders
D G Em
Sweet Anne Marie you know you are my heart�s desire
D
I�ve got two strong arms and a willing mind, but there
G Em
ain�t no jobs for hire
D G Em
But I heard talk in Dublin just the other week
D A D
Of a land across the ocean where a man can earn his keep
G A D
Won�t you come along with me
My sweet Anne Marie
Won�t you come along with me
My sweet Anne Marie
Your father secured our passage when spring arrived last year
In hopes that we�d 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 they�re building way out west
Chorus
Driving spikes for the railroad did not work out like we planned
But pound for pound I know I�m as good as any man
But there�s silver in those hills, at least I�ve been told
It�s enough to make a working man worth his weight in gold
Chorus
For over twenty years I�ve been digging in this ground
You�ve proved to be the only jewel I�ve ever found
But last month I met a man from the oil company
Now there�s a commotion at the rig, come quick you�d better see
Chorus
In the verses when you go from G to Em, do a walkdown and it'll sound better.
