Standard tuning
Capo 2:nd fret
*NOTE! In the verse (playing the Em chord), put your pinky finger
on the high e string, 3:rd fret to get the correct sound used every
once in a while throughout the song. Test it out, sounds fairly good to me!
**NOTE 2! In the chorus, When the singing goes "Make a sound, make a sound.."
try using the pinky finger again and alter from high e to to B.
Now enjoy!
[Verse]
EmSoaked and alone, on his knees in a house
He Gescaped to the countryAside after commiting a cEmrime
Bobby was young, heavy heart and his gun
And the Gman drove him out of the cAity wanted dead or alivEme
Yeah everyGthing becausAe he couldn't Emabide
EmNow he knows, that at the start of his strife
He was likGe "as far as being young and wAild
I am up for Emwhatever"
EmBobby was young, heavy heart and his gun
And to tGake somebody under his Awings
It wasn't too very Emclever
GEverything that Ahe couldn't afforEmd
He wanna sGmile on a biAg street agaEmin
He wanna Gfollow his dAreams, but inEmstead....
[Chorus]
CAnnie may go down and sDtill make a souEmnd
CShe may go down and Dbleed in your mEmind
CBecause now you hold your Dbreath and your Emtongue
CBut she would still go Ddown and make a Emsound
Em**
Make a sound, make a sound, make a sound
So come along to the local jailhouse
Two walls and a bed
Inside they only reach for the time
Bobby was young, heavy heart and his gun
And the man found him outside the city
He was barely alive
Everything that he couldn't afford
He wanna smile on a big street again
He wanna follow his dreams, but instead....
Annie may go down and still make a sound
She may go down and bleed in your mind
Because now you hold your breath and your tongue
But she would still go down and make a sound
Make a sound, make a sound, make a sound
Annie may go down and still make a sound
She may go down and bleed in your mind
Because now you hold your breath and your tongue
But she would still go down and make a sound
Make a sound, make a sound, make a sound

[Verse]

Soaked and alone, on his knees in a house

G A Em

He escaped to the countryside after commiting a crime

Bobby was young, heavy heart and his gun

G A Em

And the man drove him out of the city wanted dead or alive

G A Em

Yeah everything because he couldn't abide

Now he knows, that at the start of his strife

G A

He was like "as far as being young and wild

I am up for whatever"

Bobby was young, heavy heart and his gun

G A

And to take somebody under his wings

It wasn't too very clever

G A Em

Everything that he couldn't afford

G A Em

He wanna smile on a big street again

G A Em

He wanna follow his dreams, but instead....

[Chorus]

C D Em

Annie may go down and still make a sound

C D Em

She may go down and bleed in your mind

C D Em

Because now you hold your breath and your tongue

C D Em

But she would still go down and make a sound

Make a sound, make a sound, make a sound

So come along to the local jailhouse

Two walls and a bed

Inside they only reach for the time

Bobby was young, heavy heart and his gun

And the man found him outside the city

He was barely alive

Everything that he couldn't afford

He wanna smile on a big street again

He wanna follow his dreams, but instead....

Annie may go down and still make a sound

She may go down and bleed in your mind

Because now you hold your breath and your tongue

But she would still go down and make a sound

Make a sound, make a sound, make a sound

Annie may go down and still make a sound

She may go down and bleed in your mind

Because now you hold your breath and your tongue

But she would still go down and make a sound

Make a sound, make a sound, make a sound
