Annachie Gordon

D          Dsus2     C              Asus2
Harking is bonny and there lives my love
Asus2         C         Bm      G
My heart lies on him and cannot remove
G  D      Asus2      C               D
It cannot remove for all that I have done
D   G C          Bm D           G
And I never will forget my love Anachie
G   D       Asus2       G              D
For Anachie Gordon he's bonny and he's bright
D    G          C          D       G
He'd entice any woman that e'er he saw
G    D          Asus2     G              Bm
He'd entice any woman and so he has done me
G     C          D                 G
And I never will forget my love Anachie

[Verse 2]
D             Dsus2           C               Asus2
Down came her father and he's standing at the door
G                      C          Bm     D    G
Saying Jeannie you are trying the tricks of a whore
G        D             Asus2            G             D
You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee
D        G          C          D         G
You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie
G   D        Asus2     G            Bm
For Annachie Gordon is barely but a man
Bm G               C          Bm    D       G
Although he may be pretty but where are his lands
G       D                  Asus2         D      C        G
For The Sultan's lands are broad and his towers they run high
G                   C          Bm        G
You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie

[Verse 3]
D             Dsus2    G          Asus2
With Annachie Gordon I beg for my bread
Asus2 G            C          Bm   D     G
And before I marry Sultan his gold to my head
G    D          Asus2    G                   D
With gold to my head and straight down to my knee
D        G        C            Bm   D   G
And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie
G   D              Asus2      G                 D
And you who are my parents to church you may me bring
D   G         C           Bm           G
But unto Lord Sultan I'll never bear a son
G    D        C             G            D
To a son or a daughter I'll never bow my knee
D        G        C            D        G
And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie

[Verse 4]
D           Dsus2            C                  Asus2
Jeannie was married and from church was brought home
Asus2 G          D                            G
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
G    D           Asus2      G                 Bm
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
Bm  G             C           D         G
She goes into her chamber and cries all alone

D                 Dsus2      C            D
Come to my bed my Jeannie my honey and my sweet
Bm G            C                 D     G
To style you my mistress it would be so sweet
G     D           Asus2        G               D
Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me
D                    G        Bm         G
But in your bed Lord Sultan I never will lie
G   D             Asus2           G           D
And down came her father and he's spoken with reknown
D      G               D
Saying you who are her maidens
D  Asus2         G
Go loosen up her gowns
G       D                C
And she fell down to the floor
C   G                    D     Bm
And straight down to her knee, saying
G               Asus2        D       G
Father look I'm dying for my love Annachie

[Verse 5]
D                    Dsus2           C                D
The day that Jeannie married was the day that Jeannie died
D       G              C        Bm   D           G
And the day that young Annachie came home on the tide
G   D             Asus2       G                 D
And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands
D      G               C                    Bm   D      G
Saying oh it's been so long, you've been so long on the sands
G  Bm          Asus2     G           D
So long on the sands, so long on the flood
D         G            C           D            G
They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead

D               Dsus2        C              D
You who are her maidens come take me by the hand
D   G              Asus2            Bm       D    G
And lead me to the chamber where my love she lies in
G      D                    Asus2    G                  D
And he kissed her cold lips till his heart it turned to stone
D   G              C                 Bm   D        G
And he died in the chamber where his love she lies in
