_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Anna stares out of the window _ _ It's her _ [Eb] 85th spring, she tries to concentrate
on [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
something _ _ Her face is strained and she's confused
_ _ At the walls in this [Eb] room and all the strangers standing
[Bb] _ _ _ _
Around her chair, _ they write her _ photographs [Dm] in frames
_ They are using her [Bb]
name but she just smiles politely [F] at their [Bb] embrace
_ And Anna _ _ introduces _ _ herself [Gm] again _ A man picks up her [Bb] hand and says
Anna, look, [Bb] the spring has come _ _ And [Gm] your _ [Eb]
carousel's waiting
[F] _ _ [Bb] It's _ _ _ 1925 in New [Gm] Orleans You are in [Bb] your favorite [Eb] dress
Your brother is at your [Bb] dad's hand [Gm] And you're on your way to the [Eb] Harbour Fest
There will be apples on sticks [C] and fish stands And [Gm] you'll get to [Bb] wave at the passing [Eb] ships
And your daddy will buy you _ something at _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ the [Gm] end _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ And Anna tries to form a thought [D] _ _ _ [Bb] But at the end she's forgotten _ where she started from
_ _ There's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
something she would like to say _ But the words in her [Eb]
head seem to have got away
[Bb] _
_ _ [F] Can Anna come out and [Bb] play you?
And over all that is in sight
_ _ A curtain is [Eb] closing in her deep brown [Bb] eyes _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Well, it's like _ someone's built a wall _
And through the very last [Eb] cracks _ Anna extends her hand
[Bb]
And a little girl calls _ _ _ [Gm] Please don't let [Eb] me fall
_ _ [F]
It's [Bb] _ _ _ _ 1925 in New [Gm] Orleans You are in [Bb] your [Eb] favorite dress
Your brother is at [Bb] your dad's hand And [Gm] you're on your way [Bb] to the Harbour [Eb] Fest

And your daddy will buy [Bb] you _ [Eb] something at _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
the end
[F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ There's so much you must have witnessed _ As the whole world _ [Eb] changed
Child at the onset of [Bb] the Jazz _ Age [F] _
And _ [Bb] _ _ _ it was long before Elvis _ _
And rock and roll, they told you there will be music _ _ You _ _ just [Gm] wait
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ It's 1925 in New [Gm] Orleans You are [Bb] in your favorite [Eb] dress
Your brother is [Bb] at your dad's hand And [Gm] you're on your [Bb] way to the Harbour [Eb] Fest

the end
[Eb] What _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
do you think of it [Dm] all?
_ _ _ As you are so [Eb] small _ under your blanket here [Bb] in this hospital
_ I _ love you, _ tell your bones not to let go _ But your heart is beating [Eb] slowly now
_ Spring has _ [Bb] come, _ but one small leaf was [Gm] falling
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ Falling, [F] _ _ _ [Gm] falling
[Eb] _ _ _
