[Verse 1]
E
If you want to see my girl
E
You better be ready, I'ma show you the world
E
On a beach and on the shore
E
I'll tell you a story and it's all about a pearl
E
Creamy white and crystal clear
E
It glistened in the sun, it had nothing to fear
E
Many came from near and far
E
There was nothing like the beauty that they saw


[Verse 2]
E
I was sailing on the sea
E
There was nothing as far as I could see
E
When a vision of a girl
E
Blinded my eyes, she's as pretty as a pearl
E
Swam along with us awhile
E
I was hooked, I was smitten by her smile
E
When she traded me her heart
E
I took it from her hand


[Chorus]
A         E
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
A        E
What'd I do?
A         E
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
E
All you left me was a pearl


[Verse 3]
E
As I looked into my palm
E
I was swallowed by the vision that I saw
E
In this pearl of perfect white
E
I saw us together in a union of delight
E
When I looked into her eyes
E
I saw nothing but the mirror of the skies
E
I dove deep into the cold
E
I was ready to be


[Chorus]
A         E
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
A        E
What'd I do?
A         E
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
E
All you left me was a pearl


[Verse 4]
E
When they pulled me from the cold
E
I wondered why I'd never felt so old
E
For my hair had turned to white
E
I'd long been dead and so had my wife
E
She had died of a broken heart


[Chorus]
A         E
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
A        E
What'd I do?
A         E
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
E
All you left me was a pearl
A         E
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
A        E
What'd I do?
A         E
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
E
All you left me was a pearl
A         E
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
A        E
What'd I do?
A         E
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
E
All you left me was a pearl
A         E
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
A        E
What'd I do?
A         E
Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
E
All you left me was a pearl


[Outro]
E
That's cool
