I worked this up a few years ago. The notes in parenthesis are walking notes. Anderson's Coast INTRO: C G C G How (b)Bass (c)Strait (d)D roars, like some (d)great mill-(d)(e)Em race. And (e)where (f#)are (g)G you, my Annie? And the (e) same (f#) moon (g)G shines on this (a) lone-(b) ly (c)C place As G (g)shone (f#)one (e)Em day on me (e)Annie's (b)(c)C face. CHORUS: But (d)G An (b)nie (g)dear, don't (b)G wait (c)for (f#)D me. I (d)D fear I Em (e)shall (e)not (f#)re-(g)turn to (b)Bm thee. There's (b)Bm naught (a)to (e)Em do but endure my (b)(c)C fate, And (c)C watch (d)the (g)G moon, the (c)Am lone-(d)Bm ly (c)C moon, (D) Light the (G) breakers on (D) wild Bass (C) Strait. (b) (a) G C G We (G) stole (C) a (D) vessel and all her (Em) gear And (Em) where are (G) you, my Annie? And (C) from (D) Van (G) Diemen's, We (Am) north (G) did (C) steer Till (G) Bass Strait's (Em) wild waves wrecked us (C) here. CHORUS And G some-C where D west, Port D Melbourne Em lies And Em where are G you, my Annie? Through C swamps D in-G fested with Am snakes G and C flies. The G fool who Em walks there, he surely C dies. INSTRUMENTAL BREAK a la CHORUS We G hail C no D ships, though the time, it Em drags. And Em where are G you, my Annie? Our C chain-D gang G walk and our Am govern-G ment C rags. All G mark us Em out as Van Diemen's C lags. CHORUS We G fled C the D lash and the chafing Em chain. And Em where are G you, my Annie? We C fled D hard G labour and Am brut-G al C pain, And G here we Em are and we re-C main. CHORUS & END
