[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] Blue Anne's fat lip is drying, the bastard's bacon frying, [Fm] the shine around her eyes gone
[D] bust and bleeding.
_ [E] He shouts, girl, set the table, but he knows she ain't able.
[Gm] Her arm's done broke, [Am] hung limp like yolk, and softly [G] [A] she's repeating. _ _
[Dm] Hey, Blue Anne, why don't you march out that door?
Your [Gm] southern woman, he ain't no good [Dm] to _ you.
Leave Blue Anne, Louisiana wants [Am] war, but it's you dying on her ruby [Gm] plains.
[Am] And yet loyal [Dm] Blue Anne remains. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] Ever since he got him laid off, his sanity just made off.
No, he was [Fm] never nice, but [D] now he's cruel.
_ [Bb] He [E] rapes her, and he beats her, she don't fest how he treats [Bb] her.
Cause the Bible verse [Am] says it won't get worse, [Bb] and she [G] won't be [A] a fool. _ _
You won't [Dm] never leave Blue Anne, cause if you walk out that door, [Gm] this truck will be
gunning for [Dm] you.
No, you won't leave Blue Anne, or he'll give you a four.
You [Am] got heart where you should have had [Gm] _ brains, and [Am] so loyal [Dm] Blue Anne _ _ _ _ _ _ remains.
[E] _
_ _ Someone's [C] howling, screams like [Ab] sighing with [F] battered _ breath. _
[E] _ Raining, _ _ [C] growling, [D] never [C] dying, [Bb] in a fate [Bbm] _
[A] _ _ worse [Dm] than death. _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] But months of such conditions turn laymen to [Am] logicians, [Fm] and tonight the bastard's sleeping
[D] like a log.
So [E] she plucks the kitchen [Am] cleaver, _ [F] _ creeps [C] toward his roped up lab [Am] retriever, [G] _ _ and she
cuts the rope, [A] and hope on hope, [G] she starts to [A] shout, your dog's got [Gm] out, she's got her
chance [Am] with no back plan, [Bb] she [G] runs out [Dm] to [A] the bog.
_ _ _ [D] [B] Screaming, screaming, [Em] leave Blue Anne, _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
leave Blue Anne.
You got a life left to live, [Am] in a house hanging off the Golden [Em] _ _
Coast.
Leave Blue Anne, you won't forget nor forgive, [Bm] and she don't feel the stings and rips [Am] and _
scrapes, [Bm] as finally Blue [E] Anne escapes. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Swim, Blue Anne. _ _
_ _ _ Swim, Blue Anne. _
_ _ _ And in the swamp of leeches goes, as the creature preaches as [Gbm] alive, _ in [E] _ the night.
[A] Push through the marsh and brushes, as the blood inside you rushes [Gbm] left and right. _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [D] Until you reach the [A] bank, and you crawl onto the bank, [Db] till you feel a little yank [E] on [Gb] your
hair, _ and stricken [Bb] [F] stare at the bastard, _
_ [E] _ who beat [D] you there. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Am] The bastard lies in bed now, _ [E] half sad his wife is [F] dead now, [Fm] _ she drowned herself in the
swamp [D] in wild despair.
_ _ [E] He thinks he used to love her, but push it came to shove [Gm] her, a wife [Am] disposed, a life
case [Bb] closed, and [A] no one seems to _ care, [Dm] to grieve Blue Anne. _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[C] Now no one's on his [Am] shoulder, _ [Bb] but his mattress don't feel [Am] colder, in fact it's [Fm] hellish hot,
and the air [D] is dank and steaming.
Yet [Am] his body starts to shiver, when the window cracks a sliver, [G] and a fiery fog [A] from the
miry fog [G] pours in the [A] room, and it's to get he [Gm] gloom, and there the man [Am] sees dead Blue Anne.
[Gm] He's terrified, [Am] but he keeps his pride, [Bb] cause he [G] knows that [F] he [A] ain't dreaming. _
_ And he starts screaming, [Dm] leave Blue [F] Anne.
And hell sends you [B] back here for _ more, [Gm] cause ain't no one ever loved [Dm] you.
_ [Cm] _ [B] _ _ [Gb]
[Dm] But said Blue Anne, [Am] I come to [Dm] settle a score, _ [Am] and she shows him her feet are bound in [Gm] chains.
_ _ _ And [Am] loyal Blue _ _ Anne _
_ [Dm] remains and remains and remains and remains.
[E] _ _ _ _ [F] Someone's [E]
howling, [F] screams like [E] sighing, with [F] that her breath.
_ [Fm] _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C] Grating, growling, never dying, [Bb] in a _
_ [Bbm] [A] fade worse _ [Dm] than death.
Blue Anne, she cries her miserable nail, so [Gm] the bastards will never sleep [Dm] again.
_ No reprieve Blue Anne, she brings their souls down to hell, [A] but caution to the cruelest
of [Gm] men, caution to the coldest of men.
God [D] loves Blue Anne, [F] _ praise be, [Dm] _
I'm pleased. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
