[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Dm][Am][G][Dm]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[G]They found
[Dm]her body in the [Am]water
Floating face [Dm]down in the river
[G]The one who found her[Dm] called
the doc[Am]tor
Or so they [G]say
Not [Dm]a scratch, she wasn't bleeding
[Am]Six [Dm]teen years old, died a virgin
[G]Unlucky lover,[Dm]
she did herself [Am]in
Or so they [C]say

[Verse 2]
Rescue An[F]nie from the [C]river
With every kiss [F]she is delivered
[Am]From the depth[F]s and we forgive her[C]
For falling [Em]in

[Verse 3]
[G]They say the doctor[Dm]
could have saved [Am]her
If he'd come a [Dm]little [G]sooner
It broke [Dm]his heart to know
he'd lost [Am]her
To the [G]world
And though he couldn't
[Dm]rescue Annie[Am]
He [Dm]resolved to tell [Am]her [G]story
He used [Dm]her face to make a body
[Am]To teach the w[C]orld

[Verse 4]
Rescue An[Csus4]nie from the r[F]iver[C]
With every kiss [Csus4]she is de li[F]ver[Am]ed
From the [F]depths and we forgive [C]her

[Interlude 1]
For falling in
[Em][C][Gm][Dm][C][Gm]
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 5]
In darkened [Am]storage [C]rooms of hos[F]
pitals [E]across the world she wait[C]s
For the [Em]missing kiss that [Am]damned her

[Interlude 2]
to her fate
[F][G][Am][G]
[Am][G]
Annie sink[Dm]s down to the bottom

[Verse 6]
[Am]
The one [Dm]who spurned her is forgotten
[G]While she is cherish[Dm]ed by
[Am]a million pairs [C]of lips

[Verse 7]
Rescue An[Csus4]nie from the r[F]iver[C]
Help her [Csus4]breathe, try to [C]forgive her
Press her chest,
[Csus4]al ways rememb[F]er[C]
That in her [Csus4]heart we fin[F]d our harbor[Am]
And every [F]year, come early sum[Am]mer
He lingers [F]down there by the [C]river
Rescue [F]An nie from the [C]river
In life, her [F]lonely lips were nev[Am]er
Loved, in [F]death, caressed [C]forever
We all fell [Em]in

[Outro 1]
[Em]
