[Intro]

Annie's up at seven on a work day

Brews herself a cup of peppermint tea
G#m C#m A
Gathering her papers and lesson plans
E B
She grabs her keys
E G#m A E
Teaching arithmetic and Africa
E A
Geology and girls basketball
F#m B E C#m
All the kids in her class will tell you she's the best
A B
But she's heard other teachers in the hall, saying
[Chorus]
E G#m A E
What are we going to do about Annie
E G#m A
Pretty girl like her shouldn't be alone
F#m B E C#m
If she took our advice dressed up real nice
A B
She could find a man to take her home.
[Middle 8]
E G#m A B x2
A E
Mondays come questions of couples
A E
Where and with whom did you go
G#m C#m
Avoiding the personal pronoun
A E B
She hopes it doesn't show
E G#m A E
Shopping with her lover in the city
E A
Two women holding hands don't get a stare
F#m B E C#m
But what if the kids knew what would they do
A B
Would they hate her, why should they care? Singing
[Chorus]
E G#m A E
What are we going to do about Annie
E G#m A
Pretty girl like her shouldn't be alone

[Verse 3]
A E
Never getting too close to her students
A E
Never letting out too much of her life
G#m C#m
Keeping her delights and disappointments
A E B
Tucked out of sight
E G#m A E
Annie takes herself to the Christmas party
E A
The principal whispers with a smile
F#m B E C#m
You're vivacious and bright, if you play your cards right
A B
There's some men here tonight worth your while. Thinking
[Chorus]
E G#m A E
What are we going to do about Annie
E G#m A
Pretty girl like her shouldn't be alone
F#m B E C#m
If she took our advice dressed up real nice
A B E
She could find a man to take her home.
[Verse 4]
A E
Work that you love is hard to come by
A E
And the kids she could never bear to lose
G#m
So she makes conversation out of
C#m A E B
Silences and half truths
E G#m A E
But at night by the fire with her lover
E A
She looks out the wind driven snow
F#m B E C#m
And dreams of the day when she'll look in their faces
A B
And tell everyone she knows. She'll say
[Chorus 2]
(play twice)
E G#m A E
Don't you worry about Annie
E A
She don't lie awake and pine
F#m B
She's got love to fill her heart
E C#m A
Flowers growing in her garden
B E
Annie's doing just fine
[Outro]
E G#m A B x4
