Chords

[Intro] G Dm Am X2 [Verse]
G                     Dm            Am
   They found her body in the water

Am                              G
Floating face down in the river

G                    Dm                Am
The one who found her called the doctor

Am
Or so they say

G                Dm                  Am
   Not a scratch, she wasn't bleeding

Am                              G
Sixteen years old, died a virgin

G             Dm                   Am
Unlucky lover, she did herself in

Am                     
Or so they say

C        F              C 
  Rescue Annie from the river

            F             Am
With every kiss she is delivered

          F             C 
From the depths and we forgive her

            Em
For falling in

G                    Dm                     Am
  They say the doctor  could have saved her

Am                           G
If he'd come a little sooner

G                 Dm                     Am
It broke his heart to know he'd lost her

Am           G
To the world

G                     Dm            Am
And though he couldn't rescue Annie

Am                            G
He resolved to tell her story

G               Dm              Am
He used her face to make a body

Am                         
To teach the world

C        F               C
  Rescue Annie from the river

            F             Am
With every kiss she is delivered

          F                C
From the depths and we forgive her

            Em
For falling in
C Gm Dm x2
Am             C               F           E                  C 
 In darkened storage rooms of hospitals across the world she waits

         Em                Am                F
For the missing kiss that damned her to her fate
G Am G Am
G                 Dm             Am
  Annie sinks down to the bottom

Am                                  G
The one who spurned her is forgotten

G                     Dm            Am 
While she is cherished by a million pairs of lips 

C        F               C
  Rescue Annie from the river

           F                 C
Help her breathe, try to forgive her

            F              C
Press her chest, always remember

              F                Am
That in her heart we find our harbor

           F                Am
And every year, come early summer

            F                 C
He lingers down there by the river

       F               C
Rescue Annie from the river

              F                Am
In life, her lonely lips were never

           F                 C
Loved, in death, caressed forever

            Em
We all fell in
