Anne Marie

D G Em Sweet Anne Marie you know you are my hearts desire D Ive got two strong arms and a willing mind, but there G Em aint 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 Wont you come along with 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.
