Artificial Flowers

D Bm F#m Bm Alone in the world was poor little Anne, G Em7 A7 As sweet a young child as you'd find. D Bm F#m7 Bm Her parents had gone to their final reward, G Em7 A7 D A7 Leavin' their ba - by behind. D Bm F#m7 Bm This poor little child was only nine years of age, G Em7 A A7 when mother and dad went away. D Bm F#m7 Bm Still bravely she worked at the one thing she knew, G Em7 A7 D to earn her few pennies a day. D7 G Em7 Gm D G B7 She made artificial flowers, those artificial flowers, G Em7 A7 D G D Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear. D7 G Em7 Gm Gm7 D F#m7 B7 She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers, G Gm Em7 A7 D Fash..ioned from Annie's despair. D Bm F#m Bm With paper and shears, with some wire and wax, G Em7 A7 She made up each tulip and mum. D Bm F#m7 Bm As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room, G Em7 A7 D Her poor little fingers grew numb. D7 G Em7 Gm D G B7 From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers G Em7 A7 D G D Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear. D7 G Em7 Gm D F#m7 B7 She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers G Gm Em7 A7 D Fash..ioned from Annie's despair.

D Bm F#m7 Bm Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand, G Em7 A7 D A7 And watered with all her young tears. D Bm F#m7 Bm There must be a heaven where little Annie can play G Em7 A A7 In heavenly gardens and bowers. D Bm F#m7 Bm And instead of a halo she'll wear round her head, G Em7 A7 D A garland of genuine flowers.
