[Verse 1]
A
Annie laid her head down in the roses.

        A                                 D
She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons, in her long brown hair.

D             E                A      F#m
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,

A            E                   A
All I know I could not leave her there.
[Verse 2]
A                            D                      A
Ten years the waves roll the ships home from the sea,

A                                D
Thinkin' well how it may blow in all good company,

A          E                D
If I tell another what your own lips told to me,

       A              E             D
Let me lay 'neath the roses, let my eyes no longer see.
[Chorus]
D                E                  A
I don't know, it must have been the roses,

    D            E              A    G     D
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair.

D             E                A      F#m
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,

A            E                    A
All I know I could not leave her there.
A E A [Verse 3]
A
One pane of glass in the window,

A                               D
No one is complaining, no, come in and shut the door,

A             E                  D
Faded is the crimson from the ribbons that she wore,

          A                 E                 A
And it's strange how no one comes round any more.
[Chorus]
D                E                  A
I don't know, it must have been the roses,

    D            E              A    G     D
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair.

D             E                A      F#m
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,

A            E                   A
All I know I could not leave her there.
[Solo] A A D A A A D D A E D D A E D D [Chorus]
D                E                  A
I don't know, it must have been the roses,

    D            E              A    G     D
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair.

D             E                A      F#m
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,

A            E                   A
All I know I could not leave her there.
