Аккорды Johnny Cash - The Ballad of Annie Palmer

[Intro - speech]
N.C.
One time I was down to Jamaica to a place called Rose Hall Plantation
N.C.
They grow a lot of sugarcane and tomatoes and things at Rose Hall now
N.C.
It used to be just a sugarcane plantation back in the days of slavery
N.C.
And they tell stories about the place and about the great house at Rose Hall
N.C.
That many many years ago they came from the country of Haiti
N.C.
A lady named Annie Palmer who lived in that great house there
N.C.
And she was a mistress of the plantation she was the boss her word was law
N.C.
Well they tell a lot of tales about Annie
N.C.
They say she had three husbands one at a time I guess
N.C.
But they also tell tales about Annie and the slaves
N.C.
There were about 5000 slaves on the plantation
N.C.
And she had her favorites and she had the ones that weren't her favorites
N.C.
Well down on the sea there're three tall palm trees wavin' in the breeze
N.C.
And they say that maybe Annie Palmer's three husbands are buried under those palm trees

[Verse 1]
       A      D    A            D               A
On the island of Jamaica quit a long long time ago
   A    D        A                B7            E
At Rose Hall plantation where the ocean breezes blow
        A          D     A           D               A
Lived a girl named Annie Palmer, the mistress of the place
         A         E        A       D     A        E       A
And the slaves all lived in fear to see a frown on Annie's face

[Chorus]
D                    A              D              A
Where’s your husband Annie, where's number two and three
          D                   A            B7            E
Are they sleeping beneath the palms beside the Caribbean sea
   D                 A           D                A
At night I hear you riding and I hear your lovers call
       A        E         A         D         A              E    A
And I still can feel your presence around the great house at Rose Hall

[Verse 2]
        A          D    A             D                   A
Well if you should ever go to see the great house at Rose Hall
          A       D          A               B7               E
There's expensive chairs and china and great paintings on the wall
        A        D   A                    D                A
They'll show you any sitting room and the whipping post outside
    A          E       A       D          A       E        A
But they won't let you see the room where Annie's husbands died

[Chorus]
D                    A              D              A
Where’s your husband Annie, where's number two and three
          D                   A            B7            E
Are they sleeping beneath the palms beside the Caribbean sea
   D                 A           D                A
At night I hear you riding and I hear your lovers call
       A        E         A         D         A              E    A
And I still can feel your presence around the great house at Rose Hall
