Version 1 
            Artificial Flowers:Bobby Darin.
#20 in '60.

[Verse 1]
D            Bm        F#m         Bm
Alone in the world was poor little Anne,
   G             Em7            A7
As sweet a young child as you'd find.
    D           Bm            F#m7    Bm
Her parents had gone to their final reward,
G             Em7  A7  D    A7
Leavin' their ba - by behind.

[Verse 2]
     D           Bm             F#m7          Bm
This poor little child was only nine years of age,
     G          Em7       A   A7
when mother and dad went away.
      D           Bm            F#m7          Bm
Still bravely she worked at the one thing she knew,
   G    Em7     A7        D
to earn her few pennies a day.

[Chorus]
D7       G   Em7    Gm             D   G      B7
She made artificial flowers, those artificial flowers,
G   Em7     A7        D   G      D
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear.
D7       G   Em7    Gm           Gm7        D   F#m7   B7
She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers,
G     Gm    Em7  A7         D
Fash..ioned from Annie's despair.

[Verse 3]
     D         Bm                F#m       Bm
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax,
    G            Em7       A7
She made up each tulip and mum.
    D         Bm               F#m7     Bm
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room,
    G           Em7     A7    D
Her poor little fingers grew numb.

[Chorus]
D7          G   Em7    Gm             D   G      B7
From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
G   Em7     A7             D   G      D
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear.
D7       G   Em7    Gm       D   F#m7   B7
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
G     Gm    Em7  A7         D
Fash..ioned from Annie's despair.

[Verse 4]
     D            Bm        F#m        Bm
They found little Annie all covered in ice,
      G             Em7            A7
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears.
    D           Bm              F#m7         Bm
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand,
    G       Em7      A7     D    A7
And watered with all her young tears.

[Verse 5]
      D           Bm                F#m7       Bm
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
     G       Em7        A     A7
In heavenly gardens and bowers.
      D          Bm          F#m7           Bm
And instead of a halo she'll wear round her head,
   G     Em7  A7        D
A garland of genuine flowers.

[Chorus]
D7       G   Em7    Gm                       D   G      B7
No more artificial flowers  Throw away those artificial flowers,
G   Em7     A7        D   G      D
Flowers for ladies of society to wear.
D7               G   Em7    Gm       D      F#m7      B7
Throw away those artificial flowers, Those dumb-dumb flowers,
G     Gm       Em7  A7         D
Fashioned from      Annie's Despair.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
