This is one of my favorite songs currently. The recording I have is by Chick Bullock's Levee Loungers. Here are the chords that came from a Jazz fake book a friend has:
Em B/D# Dm / G7ANNIE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE
Words by Joe Young and Johnny Burke, music by Harold Spina
c 1933, Irving Berlin, Inc., New York City
Here's a tragedy that happened on a side street,
G7+ C Cm G Ddim D7
When a fellow went to ring his sweetheart's bell.
G Am7-5 D7 G Dm E7
He saw the shades were drawn, and he knew his gal was gone,
A7/E Cm/Eb Am7/D D7 G A7
When he listened to the story that a neighbor had to tell. Oh,Chorus:
A7 D7 G
Annie doesn't live here, anymore,
C G7 C
You must be the one she waited for.
G G#dim Am D7
She said I would know you by the blue in your eye,
G G#dim Am D7
Checkered suit, a fancy vest and polka-dot tie.
Dm7 G7 C Am
You answer to that description, so I guess that you're the guy.
Ab7 A7 D7 G G9 G#9
Well, Annie doesn't live here anymore.A7 D7 G
Annie doesn't live here, anymore.
C G7 C
It's too bad you didn't call before.
G G#dim Am D7
She just bought a gown that ties with ribbons above,
G G#dim Am D7
Brand new shoes, a pretty hat and latest style glove.
Dm7 G7 C Am
She really looked so alluring, and just waiting for your love,
Ab7 A7 D7 G Bb7
But Annie doesn't live here anymore. It wasEb Edim
Spring, there was romance in the air,
Fm7 Bb7 Fm7 Bb7
And everything seemed for loving hearts to share,
G Bm/D G G#dim Dm6 D7 Am7
And there was she, just as lonely and as blue as she could be;
Am7/D D7+
That's the rea - son,A7 D7 G
Annie doesn't live here, anymore.
C G7 C
Might have been your picture that she tore,
G G#dim Am D7
She was, oh, so faithful, what a pitiful sight.
G G#dim Am D7
Waited for the letter that you promised to write.
Dm7 G7 C Am
A gentleman with a top hat called around the other night,
Ab7 A7 D7 G
And, Annie doesn't live here anymore.Instrumental
It was spring...
