Oh Anna ♣
(© 27/5/91 & revised 8/2/95, Rick Moody)

Verse 1:

A
Oh Anna
D A
how still you are

Oh Anna
D A
my little star
D
Oh Anna
A
when the wind moves your hair
E
My Anna
A
you have lost no-one cares

Verse 2:

A
The battle
D A
fields are gone

The pubs fill
D A
the sorrows done
D
But somewhere
A
to the sound of a drum
E
A soldier
A
puts his gun on the ground

Verse 3:

A
In Ireland
D A
land of the free

Near Moville
D A
up by the sea
D
I raised you
A
to be kind nothing less
E
Greencastle
A
take your soul and God bless

A
The papers
D A
say peace has come

But soldiers
D A
don't need a drum
D
A heart beat
A
can continue the fight
E
And tears fall
A
in my dreams late at night
