Annalee
By Ellis Paul
C G
Im skippin stones at the edge of the dock
Am F
A fog came rollin in, quiet like a hawk
C G
The rivers so smooth, it could shatter with a rock
Am C F
It felt like I was walking on water
Then the doctors daughter came and dove right in
Lord almighty, shes in nothing but skin
I could turn my head but she may never come again
Shes filling the sky with her laughter
Chorus
C G
Annalee, Annalee
Am F
Youre shaking the timbers youre rattling the leaves
C G
Theres a full moon rising in front of me
Am C F
Come and stake your claim on my memory
Annalee, Annalee
Did the good Lord send you down to deliver me
Come lay your head in a bed of leaves
I am here, I am yours for the taking
Well around about midnight on a riverboat ride
Im a mandolin jukebox and Annies at my side
One bottle empty, one waiting like a bride
Shes dancing like light on the water
Weve got six weeks till college, six weeks and then were gone
Oh, life is like a river and the rivers rolling on
So come on, Annie, you taste like brandy
Will you kiss me awake come morning?
Chorus
Bridge
C Am
I cant promise a lifetime of tomorrows
F G
What tomorrow brings God only knows
C Am
I know this about tomorrow, were filling it with sorrow
F G
If we let tonight just end
Chorus
