            Bm
The leading lights of the age all wondered amongst

     Em6                       
Themselves what I would do next

      F#7
After all that I'd found in my travels around

    Bm
The world, was there anything left?

B
"Gentlemen", I said, "I've studied the maps"

        Em
"And if what I'm thinking is right"

         A7
"There's another new world at the top of the world"

         D                             F#
"For the whoever can break through the ice"

                   Bm
I looked round the room in that way I once had

      Em6
And I saw that they wanted belief

     F#7
So I said "All I've got are my guts and my God"

       Bm
Then I paused, "and the Annabelle Lee"

       B
Oh the Annabelle Lee, I saw their eyes shine

         Em
The most beautiful ship in the sea

   A7
My Nina, My Pinta, My Santa Maria

   D                   F#
My beautiful Annabelle Lee

     Bm
That spring I set sail as the crowd waved from shore

       Em6
And on board the crew waved their hats

      F#7
But I never had family just the Annabelle Lee

     Bm
So I never had cause to look back

       B
I just set the course north and I studied the charts

           Em
And toward dawn I drifted toward sleep

      A7
And I dreamed of the fine deep harbor I'd find

         D                    F#
Past the ice for my Annabelle Lee

                  Bm
After that it got colder the world got quiet

       Em6
It was never quite day or quite night

        F#7
And the sea turned the color of sky turned the color

   Bm
Of sea turned the color of ice

        B
'Til at last all around us was fastness

                Em
One vast glassy desert of arsenic white

        A7
And the waves that once lifted us

                    D                          F#
Sifted instead into drifts against Annabelle's sides

                  Bm
The crew gathered closer at first for the comfort

         Em6
But each morning would bring a new set

       F#7
Of the tracks in the snow leading over the edge

       Bm
Of the world 'til I was the only one left

             B
But then it gets cloudy and it seems like I lay there

    Em
For days maybe for months

    A7
But Annabelle held me the two of us happy

        D                        F#
Just to think back on all we had done

   Bm
We talked of the other new worlds we'd discover

       Em6
As she gave up her body to me

         F#7
And as I chopped up her mainsail for timber

              Bm
I told her of all that we still had to see

       B
As the frost turned her moorings to nine-tails

        Em
And the wind lashed her sides in the cold

  A7
I burned her to keep me alive every night

       D                     F#
In the loving embrace of her hold

                Bm
I won't call it rescue what brought me back here to

    Em6
The old world to drink and decline

       F#7
And to pretend that the search for another new world

        Bm
Was well-worth the burning of mine

    B
But sometimes at night in my dreams comes the singing

   Em
Of some unheard tropical bird

      A7
And I smile in my sleep thinking Annabelle Lee's

        D                      F#7
Finally made it to another new world

    B
Yes sometimes at night, in my dreams comes the singing

   Em
Of some unknown tropical bird

      A7
And I smile in my sleep thinking Annabel Lee's

        D                      F#
Finally made it to another new world
