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 (xx0231@1) Em7b5 The leading lights of the age all wondered among themselves what I would do next, A7 (x02020@1) DmAfter (xx0231@1)all that I'd found, in my circles around the world, was there anything left? D (xx0232@1) Gm/D "Gentlemen," I said, "I've studied the maps, and if what I am thinking is right, C/E (x3111x@5) F/C (133211@1) A7/C#There's (042020@1)another new world, at the top of the world, for whoever can break through the ice," Dm (xx0231@1) Em7b5 I looked 'round the room, in that way I once had, and I saw that they wanted belief, A7 (x02020@1) DmSo (xx0231@1)I said, "All I've got are my guts and my God," then I paused, "and the Annabel Lee." Dsus (xx0233@1) D (xx0232@1) GmOh, (355333@1)the Annabel Lee, I saw their eyes shine, the most beautiful ship in the sea, C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) A7My (x02020@1)Nina, my Pinta, my Santa Maria, my beautiful Annabel Lee Interlude Dm C Bb A7 Dm (xx0231@1) Em7b5 That spring we set sail, and the crowd waved from shore, and on board the sailors waved caps, A7 (x02020@1) DmBut (xx0231@1)I'd never had family, just the Annabel Lee, so I never had cause to look back. D (xx0232@1) GmI (355333@1)just studied the charts, set the course north, and towards dark I drifted toward sleep, C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) A7And (x02020@1)I dreamed of the fine, deep harbor I'd find past the ice, for my Annabel Lee. Dm (xx0231@1) Em7b5 After that it got colder, and the world got quiet. It was never quite day or quite night. A7 (x02020@1) DmAnd (xx0231@1)the sea turned the color of sky turned the color of sea turned the color of ice. D (xx0232@1) GmAfter (355333@1)that all around us was vastness, one glassy desert of arsenic white, C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) A7And (x02020@1)the waves that once lifted us, shifted instead into drifts against Annabel's sides. Dm (xx0231@1) Em7b5 And the crew gathered closer, at first for the comfort, but each morning would bring a new set A7 (x02020@1) DmOf (xx0231@1)tracks in the snow, leading over the edge of the world, til I was the only one left. D (xx0232@1) GmAfter (355333@1)that it gets cloudy, But it feels like I laid there for days, or maybe for months C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) A7But (x02020@1)Annabel held me, the two of us happy, Just to think back on all we had done Banjo Solo Dm Em7b5 A7 Dm D Gm C F A7 Dm Dm (xx0231@1) Em7b5 I told her {We talked) of the other new worlds We'd discover as she gave up her body to me, A7 (x02020@1) DmAs (xx0231@1)I chopped up her mainsail for timber, I told her of all that we still had to see. D (xx0232@1) GmAs (355333@1)the ice {frost} turned her mooringsTo nine-tails and the wind lashed her sides in the cold, C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) A7I (x02020@1)burned her to keep me alive every night in the loving embrace of her hold. Dm (xx0231@1) Em7b5 I can't {won't} call it rescue,What brought me back here to this old world to drink and decline, A7 (x02020@1) DmPretend (xx0231@1)that the search for another new world was well worth the burning of mine. D (xx0232@1) GmBut (355333@1)sometimes at night, in my dreams, Comes the singing of some unheard tropical bird, C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) A7And (x02020@1)I smile in my sleep, Thinking Annabel Lee's finally made it to the top of the world. D (xx0232@1) GmYeah, (355333@1)sometimes at night in my dreams comes the singing of some unheard tropical bird, C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) A7And (x02020@1)I smile in my sleep, thinking Annabel Lee's finally found another new world.
