Rescue Annie

G  Dm  Am  X2

G                     Dm            Am
   They found her body in the water
Am                              G
Floating face down in the river
G                    Dm                Am
The one who found her called the doctor
Am
Or so they say
G                Dm                  Am
   Not a scratch, she wasn't bleeding
Am                              G
Sixteen years old, died a virgin
G             Dm                   Am
Unlucky lover, she did herself in
Am
Or so they say
C        F              C
  Rescue Annie from the river
            F             Am
With every kiss she is delivered
          F             C
From the depths and we forgive her
            Em
For falling in
G                    Dm                     Am
  They say the doctor  could have saved her
Am                           G
If he'd come a little sooner
G                 Dm                     Am
It broke his heart to know he'd lost her
Am           G
To the world
G                     Dm            Am
And though he couldn't rescue Annie
Am                            G
He resolved to tell her story
G               Dm              Am
He used her face to make a body
Am
To teach the world
C        F               C
  Rescue Annie from the river
            F             Am
With every kiss she is delivered
          F                C
From the depths and we forgive her
            Em
For falling in
C Gm Dm x2
Am             C               F           E                  C
 In darkened storage rooms of hospitals across the world she waits
         Em                Am                F
For the missing kiss that damned her to her fate
G  Am  G    Am
G                 Dm             Am
  Annie sinks down to the bottom
Am                                  G
The one who spurned her is forgotten
G                     Dm            Am
While she is cherished by a million pairs of lips
C        F               C
  Rescue Annie from the river
           F                 C
Help her breathe, try to forgive her
            F              C
Press her chest, always remember
              F                Am
That in her heart we find our harbor
           F                Am
And every year, come early summer
            F                 C
He lingers down there by the river
       F               C
Rescue Annie from the river
              F                Am
In life, her lonely lips were never
           F                 C
Loved, in death, caressed forever
            Em
We all fell in
