Hammer on's and Pull off's throughout the chord progressions really add a lot to the song.
Anne Marie
as performed by
American Aquarium
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
Capo 5
F C
Late night call from an old friend
G Am
her voice it was shaking at the other end
F C G
Said, "I didn't know who else to call"
F C
I know he doesn't treat her right
G Am
But she'll crawl back in the bed tonight
F C G
Lie awake wonderin' what could've been
Am C
Oh, Anne Marie won't you please, please, please
G F
Tell me, now what has he done
Am C
Oh, Anne Marie, I'm beggin' you please
G F C
Get out while theres still time to run
F C
Well he starts to yell when he starts to drink
G Am
and he starts a lot of trouble never stops to think
F C G
About the damage that is being done
F C
But one night the bourbon flooded his veins
G Am
Like a raging black river of lust and pain
F C G
That'd be the last time that he'd raise his hand
F C
She was shakin' like a rocket on a boulevard
G Am
And her tears they were cold, but her eyes they were hard
F C G
She returned that angel to the bedside drawer
F C
Then she packed her bags and she moved away
G Am
You know he's the only reason that she ever stayed
F C G
Now she's out there living on the road
Am C
Oh, Anne Marie won't you please, please, please
G F
Tell me, now what have you done
Am C
Oh, Anne Marie, I'm beggin' you please
G F C
Get out while theres still time to run
F C
Well, my telephone, it don't ring no more
G Am
and last I heard she's at the Jersey shore
F C G
If I believed in God, I'd pray for you
F C
But a prayer without belief
G Am
is like a pill without relief
F C G
So I'll just save us both the let down
Am C
Oh, Anne Marie won't you please, please, please
G F
Tell me, now what have you done
Am C
Oh, Anne Marie, I'm beggin' you please
G F C
Get out while theres still time to run
G F C
Please stay out, Please stay out on the run
