Bobby Darin — Artificial Flowers
A F#m C#m7-5 F#m Alone in the world was poor little Anne D9 Bm7-5 E7/6 E7 A E7im As sweet a young child as you'd find. A F#m C#m7-5 F#m Her parents had gone to their final reward D9 Bm7-5 E7alt E7/6 E7 A Edim E7 Leavin' their ba - by be - hind. A F#m C#m7-5 F#m This poor little child was only nine years of age D9 Bm7-5E7/6 E7 A E7im When mother and dad went a - way; A F#m C#m7-5 F#m Still bravely worked at the one thing she knew D9 Bm7-5 E7alt E7/6 E7 Fdim A To earn her few pen - nies a day. Refrain 1: ADBDADA She made ar - ti - fic - ial flowers, ar - ti - fic - ial flowers, D9 Fdim Bm7-5 E7 A D9 Fdim A Flow - ers for la - dies of fash - ion to wear; A7 D9 Bm7-5 She made ar - ti - fic - ial flowers, Dm6 A C#m7-5 F#7 You know those ar - ti - fic - ial flowers, D9 Dm6 Bm7-5 E7alt E7/6 E7 A Fash - ioned from Ann - ie's des - pair. A F#m C#m7-5 F#m With paper and shears, with some wire and wax D9 Bm7-5 E7/6 E7 A E7im She made up each tu - lip and mum. A F#m C#m7-5 F#m As snowflakes drifted into her ten - e - ment room D9 Bm7-5 E7alt E7/6 E7 A D9 A Her baby little fin - gers grew numb. Refrain 2: ADBDADA From makin' ar - ti - fic - ial flowers, ar - ti - fic - ial flowers D9 Fdim Bm7-5 E7 A D9 Fdim A Flow - ers for la - dies of high fashion to wear.

A F#m C#m7-5 F#m They found little Annie all covered in ice D9 Dm6 Bm7-5 E7/6 E7 A E7im Still clutch - in' her poor froz - en shears; A F#m C#m7-5 F#m Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand D9 Bm7-5 E7/6 E7 Fdim A E7im And wa - tered with all her young tears. A F#m C#m7-5 F#m There must be a heaven where little Annie can play D9 Dm6 Bm7-5 E7/6 E7 A E7im In heav - en - ly gar - dens and bowers. A F#m C#m7-5 F#m And instead of a halo she'll wear 'round her head D9 Bm7-5 E7alt E7/6 E7 Fdim A D9 A A gar - land of gen - u - ine flow - ers.
