[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] Leading lights of the age all wondered amongst [B] themselves what I would do next.
After all that [F#] I've found in my travels around the world, was there anything [Bm] left?
[B] Gentlemen I said, I've studied the maps [Em] and if what I am thinking is right, [E] there's another
new world at the top of the [D] world for whoever can break through the [Bm] ice.
I looked around the room _ in that way I once [Em] had and I saw that they wanted belief.
So I said all I got are my guts and my God, then [Bm] I paused and the Annabel Lee, [B] oh the
Annabel Lee, saw their eyes shine, the most [Em] beautiful ship in the sea.
My [A] Nina, my Pinta, my Santa Maria, my [F#] beautiful Annabel Lee. _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
That spring I set sail and the crowd waved from shore and [C#] on board the crew waved their hand.
[F#] But I never had family, just the Annabel Lee, [Bm] so I never had cause to look back.
I just [B] set the course north and I studied the charts and towards [Em] dark I drifted towards sleep.
[A] And I dreamed of the find, the harbor I'll find, past the ice of [F#] my Annabel Lee.
After [Bm] that it got colder and the world got quiet, it [C#] was never quite day or quite night.
[F#] And the sea turned the color of sky, turned the [Bm] color of sea, turned the color of night.
Till [B] at last all around us was vastness, one vast [Em] glassy desert of arsenic white.
[A] And the waves that once lifted us, sifted [D] instead into drifts against [F#] Annabel's sides
and the crew [Bm] gathered closer.
_ _ At first for the comfort, but each [C#] morning would bring a new set, of [F#] tracks in the snow
leading over the edge of the [Bm] world till I was the only one left.
[B] And after that it gets cloudy, but it feels like I lay there [Em] for days, maybe for months.
[A] But Annabel held me, two of us [D] happy just to think back on all [F#] we had done.

[F#] _ [Bm] We talked of the other, new worlds we'd discover as she [C#] gave up her body to me.
_ [F#] And as I chopped up her mainsail for timber [Bm] I told her of all that we still had to see.
[B] And as the frost turned her moorings to ninetail and [Em] the wind lashed her sides in the cold,
I [A] burned her to keep me alive every [D] night in the loving embrace of her [Bm] hold.
And I won't call it rescue, _ what brought me back here to [C#] the old world to drink and decline. _
[F#] Pretend that the search for another new [Bm] world was well worth the burning of mine.
_ [B] Sometimes at night, in my dreams comes the singing of [Em] some unknown tropical girl.
[E] And I smile in my sleep, thinking Annabel Lee [D] has finally made it to another new world.
[F#] _ Yeah, [B] sometimes at night, in my dreams comes the singing [Em] of some unknown tropical girl. _
[A] And I smile in my sleep, thinking Annabel Lee [D] has finally made it to another new [F#] world.
