[intro] Bm F# B F#
Bm
It was many and many a year ago,
F#
In a kingdom by the sea,
Bm
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
F#
By the name of Annabel Lee;
A
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
G F# Bm F#
Than to love and be loved by me.
Bm
I was a child and she was a child,
F#
In this kingdom by the sea;
Bm
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
F#
I and my Annabel Lee;
A
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
G F# Bm F#
Coveted her and me.
Bm
And this was the reason that, long ago,
F#
In this kingdom by the sea,
A
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
G F#
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
Bm
So that her highborn kinsmen came
F#
And bore her away from me,
A
To shut her up in a sepulcher
G F# Bm F#
In this kingdom by the sea.
Bm
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
F#
Went envying her and me-
Bm
Yes!- and that was the reason, as all men know
F#
In this kingdom by the sea
A
That the wind came out of a cloud by night,
G F# Bm F#
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
Bm
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
F#
Of those who were older than we-
G F#
Of many far wiser than we-
Bm
And neither the angels in heaven above,
F#
Nor the demons down under the sea,
A
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
G F# Bm F#
of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
[Octave Up]
Bm
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
F#
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
A
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
G F#
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
Bm
And so all the night tide I lie down by the side
F#
Of my darling - my darling - my life and my bride
A
In the sepulcher there by the sea,
G F# Bm F#
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
