	D	Bm	F#m	Bm
	Alone in the	world was	poor little	Anne,

	G	Em7	A7
As	sweet a young	child as you'd	find.

	D	Bm	F#m7	Bm
Her	parents had	gone to their	final re	ward,

	G	Em7	A7	D	A7
	Leavin'	their	baby be	hind.

	D	Bm	F#m7	Bm
This	poor little	child was only	nine years of	age,

	G	Em7	A	A7
when	mother and	dad went a	way.

	D	Bm	F#m7	Bm
Still	bravely she	worked at the	one thing she	knew,

	G	Em7	A7	D
to	earn	her few	pennies a	day.

CHORUS:

	D7	G	Em7	Gm	D	G	B7
	She made	arti	ficial	flowers,	arti	ficial	flowers,

	G	Em7	A7	D	G	D
	Flow	ers for	ladies of	fash	ion to	wear.

	D7	G	Em7	Gm	Gm7	D	F#m7	B7
	She made	arti	ficial	flowers, you	know those	arti	ficial	flowers,

	G	Gm	Em7	A7	D
	Fash..	ioned	from	Annie's des	pair.

With paper and shears, with some wire and wax,

She made up each tulip and mum.

As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room,

Her baby little fingers grew numb.

CHORUS:

From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers

Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear.

She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers

Made from Annie's despair.

They found little Annie all covered in ice,

Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears.

Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand,

And watered with all her young tears.

There must be a heaven where little Annie can play

In heavenly gardens and bowers.

And instead of a halo she'll wear round her head,

A garland of genuine flowers.

CHORUS:

No more artificial flowers;

Throw away those artificial flowers,

Flowers for ladies of society to wear.

Throw away those artificial flowers,

Those dumb-dumb flowers,

Fashioned from Annie's, fashioned from Annie's

Despair.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
