[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Am7 Late at night, somewhat tight, D7 G G G/F# Guardian angels put to flight. Em Am Freddie's doused the neon light D7 G That promised while it shone.
[Verse 2]
G Am7 Time to go, time to blow, D7 G G G/F# They don't push me 'cause they know. Em Am I'm still in my long ago, D7 G When Annie took me home.
[Refrain]
Em Bm There was I, wondering why, Em D Annie'd choose to ask me over. Em Bm But she did, sure she did, A D D/C D/B D/A She called me her Irish rover.
[Verse 3]
G Am7 Sat me there in her chair, D7 G G G/F# Ran her fingers through my hair. Em Am Talk of heaven, I've been there D7 G When Annie took me home.
[Instrumental]
G Am7
D7 G G G/F#
Em Am
D G
[Verse 4]
G Am7 Rafters rung, songs were sung, like D7 G G G/F# "Spanish Is the Loving Tongue". Em Am Ribbons on my life were hung, D7 G When Annie took me home.
[Refrain]
Em Bm There was wine, there was time. Em D All the while guitars were playing. Em Bm Then the day came my way, A D D/C D/B D/A When she told me I'd be staying.
[Verse 5]
G Am7 Love can grow, love can go, D7 G Did she love me? I don't know. Em Am Though she often told me so, D7 G I've never really known.
[Verse 6]
G Am7 Was I blind? I don't mind. D7 G G G/F# I think life's been more than kind. Em Am Thanks to life, there was the time D7 G When Annie took me home.
[Outro]
G G/F# Em Am Thanks to life, there was the time D7 G When Annie took me home.
