Artificial Flowers

D            Bm        F#m       
Alone in the world was poor 
  Bm
little Anne,
   G             Em7            
As sweet a young child as you'd 
A7
find.
    D           Bm            
Her parents had gone to their 
F#m7    Bm
final reward,
G             Em7  A7  D    A7
Leavin' their ba - by behind.

[Verse 2]
     D           Bm             
This poor little child was only 
F#m7          Bm
nine years of age,
     G          Em7       A   A7
when mother and dad went away.
      D           Bm            
Still bravely she worked at the 
F#m7          Bm
one thing she knew,
   G    Em7     A7        D
to earn her few pennies a day.

[Chorus]
D7       G   Em7    Gm          
She made artificial flowers, 
   D   G      B7
those artificial flowers,
G   Em7     A7        D   G    
Flowers for ladies of fashion to 
  D
wear.
D7       G   Em7    Gm          
She made artificial flowers, you
 Gm7        D   F#m7   B7
 know those artificial flowers,
G     Gm    Em7  A7         D
Fash..ioned from Annie's despair.

[Verse 3]
     D         Bm                
With paper and shears, with some 
F#m       Bm
wire and wax,
    G            Em7       A7
She made up each tulip and mum.
    D         Bm               
As snowflakes drifted into her 
F#m7     Bm
tenement room,
    G           Em7     A7    D
Her poor little fingers grew numb.

[Chorus]
D7          G   Em7    Gm      
From makin' artificial flowers,
       D   G      B7
 those artificial flowers
G   Em7     A7             D   
Flowers for ladies of high 
G      D
fashion to wear.
D7       G   Em7    Gm  
She made artificial flowers, 
     D   F#m7   B7
artificial flowers
G     Gm    Em7  A7         D
Fash..ioned from Annie's despair.

[Verse 4]
     D            Bm        F#m  
They found little Annie all 
      Bm
covered in ice,
      G             Em7       
Still clutchin' her poor frozen 
     A7
shears.
    D           Bm              
Amidst all the blossoms she had 
F#m7         Bm
fashioned by hand,
    G       Em7      A7     
And watered with all her young 
D    A7
tears.

[Verse 5]
      D           Bm              
There must be a heaven where 
  F#m7       Bm
little Annie can play
     G       Em7        A     A7
In heavenly gardens and bowers.
      D          Bm          F#m7
And instead of a halo she'll wear
           Bm
 round her head,
   G     Em7  A7        D
A garland of genuine flowers.

[Chorus]
D7       G   Em7    Gm         
No more artificial flowers  
              D   G      B7
Throw away those artificial flowers,
G   Em7     A7        D   G    
Flowers for ladies of society to 
  D
wear.
D7               G   Em7    Gm 
Throw away those artificial 
      D      F#m7      B7
flowers, Those dumb-dumb flowers,
G     Gm       Em7  A7         D
Fashioned from      Annie's Despair.
