Anne Marie Chords

  			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.
