Anne Marie Tab

This is a Raleigh, NC based band but if you keep your eye out they probably playing a town near you.



Hammer on's and Pull off's throughout the chord progressions really add a lot to the song.

Late night call from an old friend
                               
her voice it was shaking at the other end
                               
Said, "I didn't know who else to call"
                 
I know he doesn't treat her right
                            
But she'll crawl back in the bed tonight
                                
Lie awake wonderin' what could've been



                       
Oh, Anne Marie won't you please, please, please
                        
Tell me, now what has he done
                  
Oh, Anne Marie, I'm beggin' you please
                                 
Get out while theres still time to run



                              
Well he starts to yell when he starts to drink
                                    
and he starts a lot of trouble never stops to think
                             
About the damage that is being done
                         
But one night the bourbon flooded his veins 
                            
Like a raging black river of lust and pain
                                          
That'd be the last time that he'd raise his hand

                                  
She was shakin' like a rocket on a boulevard
                                     
And her tears they were cold, but her eyes they were hard
                                     
She returned that angel to the bedside drawer
                                
Then she packed her bags and she moved away 
                                      
You know he's the only reason that she ever stayed
                                
Now she's out there living on the road


                       
Oh, Anne Marie won't you please, please, please
                          
Tell me, now what have you done
                  
Oh, Anne Marie, I'm beggin' you please
                                 
Get out while theres still time to run


                            
Well, my telephone, it don't ring no more
                             
and last I heard she's at the Jersey shore
                                 
If I believed in God, I'd pray for you
                            
But a prayer without belief 
                      
is like a pill without relief
                                
So I'll just save us both the let down


                       
Oh, Anne Marie won't you please, please, please
                          
Tell me, now what have you done
                  
Oh, Anne Marie, I'm beggin' you please
                                 
Get out while theres still time to run


                                      
Please stay out, Please stay out on the run
