Misc Traditional – Annie Lisle (Guitar)

G              C
Down where the waving willows

D                   D
'Neath the sunbeams smile,

G                 C
Shadow'd o'er the murm'ring waters

D                 G
Dwelt sweet Annie Lisle;

G           C
Pure as the forest lily,

D              D
Never tho't of guile

G                C
Had its home within the bosom

D              G
Of sweet Annie Lisle.

G    D        Em     Bm
Wave willows, murmur waters,

C      G         D
Golden sunbeams, smile!

G             C
Earthly music cannot waken

D            G
Lovely Annie Lisle.

G              C
Sweet came the hallow'd chiming

D              D
Of the Sabbath bell,

G            C
Borne on the morning breezes

D              G
Down the woody dell.

G           C
On a bed of pain and anguish

D              D
Lay dear Annie Lisle,

G                C
Chang'd were the lovely features,

D              G
Gone the happy smile.

G    D        Em     Bm
Wave willows, murmur waters,

Earthly music cannot waken

Lovely Annie Lisle.

G                 C
"Raise me in your arms, O Mother;

D                D
Let me once more look

G                C
On the green and waving willows

D               G
And the flowing brook.

G                  C
Hark! the sound of angel music

D                D
From the choirs above!

G               C
Dearest mother, I am going;

D             G
Surely God is love."

Earthly music cannot waken

D            G
Lovely Annie Lisle.
