I'm pretty confident about most of this. Its the first time I have ever 
transcribed by ear an entire song, but i am only 35. 
I have already written one new song since learning this rather subtle 
but pretty chord grouping.
Sorry about the way some of the chord changes don't line up correctly. 
I pasted this in from my wordprocessor and it looks a bit funny. 
If you listen to the track on the album, you'll get it.

Old oaks stand tall Annie, seen the world grow small Annie

But when they fall Annie, where will we be?

Winter has come Annie, No strength in the sun, Annie

And when it's gone Annie, where shall we be?



Bsection 1

Bm                              F#m/A  Bm          F#m/A
When all the colors have faded, when ole Jack comes to call
Bm                          F#m
Don't tell em' no tell em' maybe
G                            D     G                  D
Oh Annie God bless us all, Oh yes Annie, God bless us all



Instrumental A Section

God Bless us all Annie wherever well be.
