Tabbed By Dillon Notes: I've included the bass movement in the first verse because I love it, but the chords sound great even if you use a regular Gm, C, etc. Since I'm transcribing a mandolin part, you may have to experiment with chord voicings to get the one you like. Just google them. Intro Dm F Em7b5 A7 Dm C Bb Gm A7 Verse Dm Em7B5 A7 Dm D Gm/D C/E F/C A7/C# Dm Interlude Dm C Bb A7 Outro Em7b5 Dm C F A7 Dm Em7b5 The leading lights of the age all wondered among themselves what I would do next,
After aA7ll that I'd found, in my circles around the worlDmd, was there anything left? &qDuot;Gentlemen," I said, "I've studied thGm/De maps, and if what I am thinking is right, There's anC/Eother new world, at the top of the world, for whoeF/Cver can break through the iA7/C#ce," Dm Em7b5 I looked 'round the room, in that way I once had, and I saw that they wanted belief, So I sA7aid, "All I've got are my guts and my God," then IDm paused, "and the Annabel Lee." Oh, the ADsusnnabel DLee, I saw their eyes shine, the most Gmbeautiful ship in the sea, My CNina, my Pinta, my Santa Maria, my beautiful AFnnabel A7Lee
Interlude Dm C Bb A7 Dm Em7b5 That spring we set sail, and the crowd waved from shore, and on board the sailors waved caps,
But I'd A7never had family, just the Annabel Lee, so I nDmever had cause to look back. I just Dstudied the charts, set the course north, and towards dGmark I drifted toward sleep, And I dCreamed of the fine, deep harbor I'd find past the Fice, for my Annabel LA7ee. Dm Em7b5 After that it got colder, and the world got quiet. It was never quite day or quite night. And the sA7ea turned the color of sky turned the color of Dmsea turned the color of ice. After tDhat all around us was vastness, one glassy dGmesert of arsenic white, And the Cwaves that once lifted us, shifted instead into Fdrifts against Annabel's A7sides. Dm Em7b5 And the crew gathered closer, at first for the comfort, but each morning would bring a new set Of tA7racks in the snow, leading over the edge of the world,Dm til I was the only one left. After tDhat it gets cloudy, But it feels like I laid there for Gmdays, or maybe for months But AnnCabel held me, the two of us happy, Just to thFink back on all we had dA7one
Banjo Solo Dm Em7b5 A7 Dm D Gm C F A7 Dm Dm Em7b5 I told her {We talked) of the other new worlds We'd discover as she gave up her body to me,
A7As I chopped up her mainsail for timber, I told her of Dmall that we still had to see. DAs the ice {frost} turned her mooringsTo nine-tails and the Gmwind lashed her sides in the cold, I Cburned her to keep me alive every night in the Floving embrace of her A7hold.
Dm Em7b5 I can't {won't} call it rescue,What brought me back here to this old world to drink and decline,
PreA7tend that the search for another new world was wellDm worth the burning of mine. But Dsometimes at night, in my dreams, Comes the singing of Gmsome unheard tropical bird, And I sCmile in my sleep, Thinking Annabel Lee's finally Fmade it to the top of the A7world. Yeah, Dsometimes at night in my dreams comes the singing of some Gmunheard tropical bird, And I Csmile in my sleep, thinking Annabel Lee's finally fFound another new A7world.
