D5 Dsus D
the lone woman stands in the turning december
D5
she’s got ice on her lashes
Dsus D
white at her winter coat
D5 Dsus
the trees stand like soldiers around her
D
dutiful wooden curse
D5
and the heart she feared frozen
Dsus D
still beats and still marches on

G D/F# Em
oh , annie
D Dsus D
i will think of you each time i see the sun
Em D/F#
didn’t want a day without you
G D5 Dsus D
but somehow i’ve lived through another one

D5 Dsus
a gentlemen waits on a platform
D
in a haze of gray and grief
D5
now he’s sold up his assets
Dsus D
starting over at 70
D5 Dsus
the steam blasts like trumpets around him
D
salutes on the colonnade
D5 Dsus
as he thinks to himself :
D
“we’re all waiting for our train to come”

G D/F# Em
oh , annie
D Dsus D
i will think of you each time i see the sun
Em D/F#
didn’t want a year without you
G Gsus G Gsus G D
but somehow i’ve lived through another one

Em
were you wounded and in disbelief
at how much it hurt?

now the ache’s still burning
F
but the world’s still turning
A
