Happy As Annie

[A]On September 3rd 2003
[A]I was softly touched by a warm summer breeze
Emin2nd/7th
There were blue tits flocking and swerving
Emin2nd/7th
My accuracy is quite unnerving

[A]I stole into a burnt, orange field
[A]Which once was green, but lost its zeal
Emin2nd/7th
To prance and dance and sing around
Emin2nd/7th
Which is not condoned in the centre of town

[A]Children plea[Fm9]se beware!     [Bmin7]
[E]I'm choked with fear
[A]Oh children p[Fm9]lease beware!  [Bmin7]
[E]I'm choked with fear
(repeat)

[A]And as I crunched those crispy leaves
[A]I walked towards a shaded tree
Emin2nd/7th
To find a young girl lying there
Emin2nd/7th
Drifting off without a care

[A]Her face was covered by a straw hat
[A]'Happy as Larry' and all of that
Emin2nd/7th
When I shouted out to wake her up
Emin2nd/7th
She was skipping school in the burning hot

[A]Children plea[Fm9]se beware!     [Bmin7]
[E]I'm choked with fear
[A]Oh children p[Fm9]lease beware!  [Bmin7]
[E]I'm choked with fear
(repeat)

[A]           [C#min]        [D]        [E]

[A]And as I tri[C#min]ed to get her[D] to speak[E]
[A]I realised t[C#min]hat she was n[D]ot asleep[E]
[A]I moved her [C#min]hat to find t[D]hat her f[E]ace was grey
[A]Her knickers[C#min] wrapped arou[D]nd her an[E]kles
It's not funny!

[A]Children plea[Fm9]se beware!     [Bmin7]
[E]I'm choked with fear
[A]Oh children p[Fm9]lease beware!  [Bmin7]
[E]I'm choked with fear
(repeat)

[A]Swamped with [Fm9]fear...        [Bmin7]                     [E]
[A]Drown in fear[Fm9]...            [Bmin7]                         [E]
