Artificial Flowers

  A            F#m    C#m5-/7        F#m
Alone in the world was poor little Anne
    D9           Bm5-/7  E7/13 E7    A   Edim  E7
As sweet a  young  child   as you'd find
    A           F#m         C#m5-/7     F#m
Her parents had gone to their final reward
D9     Bm5-/7 E7   E7/13 E7 A Edim E7
Leavin' their   baby   behind
    A           F#m           C#m5-/7       F#m
This poor little child was only nine years of age
      D9       Bm5-/7 E7/13 E7   A Edim  E7
When mother and  dad   went away
A              F#m         C#m5-/7         F#m
Still bravely worked at the one thing she knew
    D9 Bm5-/7   E7  E7/13 E7 Fdim A
To earn her few pennies  a   day
Refrain one:
A7       D9   Bm5-/7 Dm6     A   D9    A
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
D9 Fdim Bm5-/7 E7      A  D9 Fdim A
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear
A7       D9    Bm5-/7
She made artificial    flowers 
   Dm6          A     C#m5-/7  F#7
You know those artificial    flowers
D9 Dm6  Bm5-/7 E7  E7/13 E7  A
Fashioned from   Annie's  despair
     A          F#m             C#m5-/7   F#m
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
    D9     Bm5-/7 E7/13 E7       A   Edim  E7
She made up  each  tulip and mum
     A               F#m      C#m5-/7    F#m
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
D9 Fdim Bm5-/7 E7   A  D9 Fdim A
Her baby little fingers grew numb
Refrain two
     A7      D9    Bm5-/7 Dm6    A  D9        A
From makin' artificial flowers, artificial flowers
D9   Fdim  Bm5-/7  E7      A    D9   Fdim  A
Flowers for ladies    of high fashion to wear
A7       D9   Bm5-/7 Dm6     A   D9    A
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
D9 Dm6  Bm5-/7 E7  E7/13 E7  A
Fashioned from   Annie's  despair
     A            F#m       C#m5-/7    F#m
They found little Annie all covered in ice
      D9      Dm6  Bm5-/7 E7/13  E7     A   Edim  E7
Still clutchin' her poor frozen    shears
   A           F#m             C#m5-/7       F#m
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
 D9   Bm5-/7  E7/13 E7  Fdim   A    Edim E7
And watered with all  her young tears
       A         F#m               C#m5-/7      F#m
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
   D9    Dm6  Bm5-/7 E7/13  E7   A  Edim E7
In heavenly    gardens    and bowers
     A            F#m             C#m5-/7     F#m
And instead of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
   D9 Bm5-/7  E7 E7/13 E7  Fdim  A D9 A
A garland of genuine  flowers  
Refrain three
A7      D9    Bm5-/7 Dm6
No more artificial flowers 
      Fdim       A         D9   A
Throw away those artificial flowers
D9  Fdim    Bm5-/7  E7 Fdim A   D9 Fdim  A
Flowers    for ladies    of society  to  wear
        A7       D9       Bm5-/7 Dm6   A      C#m5-/7       F#7
Throw away those artificial    flowers, those dumb-dumb flower
 D9 Dm6  Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13  Fdim
Fashioned from Annie's, 
D9 Dm6  Bm5-/7 E7  E7/13 E7  A
Fashioned from   Annie's  despair
Bm5-/7        Cdim  A6
Give her the real thing
