- vainly I had sought to borrow\r\nFrom my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -\r\nFor the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore -\r\nNameless here for evermore.\r\n\r\n\r\n[ch]Am[/ch]\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nPresently, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\n\"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door –[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]F[/ch]\r\nSome late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;
