A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m D9 Bm5-/7 E7/13 E7 A Edim E7
Alone in the world was poor little Anne. As sweet a young child as you'd find.
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m D9 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 E7 A Edim E7
Her parents had gone to their final reward. Leavin' their baby behind.
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m D9 Bm5-/7 E7/13 E7 A Edim E7
This poor little child was only nine years of age. When mother and dad went away;
A F#m C#m7/5- F#m D9 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 E7 Fdim A
Still bravely worked at the one thing she knew. To earn her few pennies a day.
Refrain one:
A7 D9 Bm7/5- Dm6 A D9 A D9 Fdim Bm5-/7 E7 A D9 Fdim A
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers, flowers for ladies of fashion to wear;
A7 D9 Bm5-/7 Dm6 A C#m5-/7 F#7
She made artificial flowers, You know those artificial flowers,
D9 Dm6 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 E7 A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m
Fashioned from Annie's despair. With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
D9 Bm5-/7 E7/13 E7 A Edim E7 A F#m C#m7/5- F#m
She made up each tulip and mum. As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
D9 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 E7 A D9 A
Her baby little fingers grew numb.
Refrain two:
A7 D9 Bm5-/7 Dm6 A D9 A D9 Fdim Bm5-/7 E7 A D9 Fdim A

From makin' artificial flowers, artificial flowers, flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear.
A7 D9 Bm5-/7 Dm6 A C#m5-/7 F#7 D9 Dm6 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 E7 A Edim E7
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers, Fashioned from Annie's despair.
A F#m C#m5-/7 F#m D9 Dm6 Bm5-/7 E7/13 E7 A Edim E7
They found little Annie all covered in ice. Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears;
A F#m C#m7/5- F#m D9 Bm7/5- E7/6 E7 Fdim A Edim E7
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand. And watered with all her young tears.
A F#m C#m7/5- F#m D9 Dm6 Bm7/5- E7/6 E7 A Edim E7
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play. In heavenly gardens and bowers.
A F#m C#m7/5- F#m D9 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 E7 Fdim A D9 A
And instead of a halo she'll wear 'round her head. A garland of genuine flowers.
Refrain three:
A7 D9 Bm5-/7 Dm6 Fdim A D9 A
No more artificial flowers; Throw away those artificial flowers,
D9 Fdim Bm7/5- E7 Fdim A D9 Fdim A
Flowers for ladies of societ to wear.
A7 D9 Bm7/5- Dm6 A C#m7/5- F#7 D9 Dm6 Bm7/5- E7alt E7/6 Fdim
Throw away those artificial flowers, those dumb-dumb flowers, fash ioned from Annie's,
D9 Dm6 Bm5-/7 E7 E7/6 E7 A Bm5-/7 Cdim A6
Fashioned from Annie's despair. Give her the real thing!
