(Dm9/G)You'll just catch that (D7)semi rollin' (G)by. (G/F#) (Em)

That's how all us stray dogs (D) gonna die.

?Anna on a Memory? ? that song is fun to play!
Most of the parts are not as difficult as they maybe look.
A picker?s pleasure piece.
Small surprise that Art and Charlie both had a version.
We started with Art?s, which was right good,
and Charlie had icing to add to the cake.

?Anna? is from ?Cannons in the Rain?, RCA, 1973,
re-released together with ?Wingless Angels? (originally
also RCA, 1975) on one cd by Bear Family Records, 1990.
