Biography:
Gillian Howard Welch (born October 2, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter. She performs with her musical partner, guitarist David Rawlings. Their sparse and dark musical style, which combines elements of Appalachian music, bluegrass, country and Americana, is described by The New Yorker as "at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms."
Welch and Rawlings have collaborated on seven critically acclaimed albums, five released under her name, and two released under the name Dave Rawlings Machine.

ANNABELLE (Gillian Welch)
Track 2 from "REVIVAL" (Almo, AMSD-80006)
[Verse 1]
Am F
We lease twenty acres and one Ginny mule
E7 Am
From the Alabama trust
Am F
For half of the cotton and a third of the corn
E7 Am
We get a handful of dust
[Chorus]
F C G Am
We cannot have all things to please us, no matter how we try
F C G Am F C G Am F E7 Am
Until we've all gone to Jesus, we can only wonder why
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
I had a daughter called her Annabelle
She's the apple of my eye
Tried to give her something like I never had
Didn't want to ever hear her cry
[Chorus]
F C G Am
We cannot have all things to please us, no matter how we try
F C G Am F C G Am F E7 Am
Until we've all gone to Jesus, we can only wonder why
[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)
When I'm dead and buried I'll take a hard life of tears
From every day I've ever known
Anna's in the churchyard she got no life at all
She only got these words on a stone
[Chorus]
F C G Am
We cannot have all things to please us, no matter how we try
F C G Am F C G Am F E7 Am
Until we've all gone to Jesus, we can only wonder why
