C F C
I sailed with the dawn and the wind blew free
F C
'cross the bright shining sea,
Em G F G
and it filled the sails of my Antoinette.
C
Good-bye home and the one I love,
F G
put my faith in the sky and the stars above,
F
‘cause there's nothing in this world I wouldn't bet
C
on my Antoinette !

C F C
She carries her name, and for you I'll try
F C
to be strong or I'll die,
Em G F G
and I'll find my grave in the rolling waves.
C
Ride on baby, don't you let me down,
F G
ocean's big and you don't wanna see me drown.
F C
But a bitter rain begins to beat the deck of the Antoinette.
Bridge:
G
See the rain come lashing,
C
there's a sudden flash of lightning on the foam, hold on, Antoinette !
G
The ocean rounds in fury
C
on a man who fights against it all alone, keep on, Antoinette !
F E
She goes down with a sigh and with her his last cry,
F G
Antoinette ! Antoinette !
C F C

C F C
Dawn breaks on the sea, and the long dark night
F C
now gives way to the light,
Em G F G
and no trace remains of the Antoinette.
C
Deep she lies on the ocean floor,
F G
far away from the girl who waits by the shore.
F C
Does she know her love is buried in the wreck of the Antoinette?
Outro:
C F
Well, deep she lies, deep she lies,
C F C
Antoinette ! Antoinette !
