Many a year ago 
In a kingdom by the sea 
There lived a maiden you may know 
By the name of Annabelle Lee 
No other thought did trouble her mind 
But to love and be loved by me 


Cm (throughout) 

We were children both 
In this kingdom by the sea 
But we loved with a love that was more than love 
I and my Annabelle Lee 
With a love that the winged angels high 
Coveted her and me

This was the reason long ago 
In this kingdom by the sea 
A wind blew from a stormy cloud 
That took my Annabelle Lee 
Then her wicked brothers came 
To steal her away from me 

Cm (throughout) 

They shut her up in a tomb below 
This kingdom by the sea 
But no maiden’s grave could sever my soul 
From the love she bore for me 
For the moon don’t beam without a dream 
Of my darling Annabelle Lee 

Cm, Ab, Gm, Fm

For many years I’ve wandered 
Through this kingdom by the sea 
I’ve laid myself beside the bones 
Of my beautiful Annabelle Lee 
I’ll make my bed near the rising tide 
In her tomb by the sounding sea
