VERSE:
CIt was many and many a yBbear ago
In a kCingdom by the Bbsea
That a maCiden lived whom Bbyou may know
By the nFame of ANNABEL LGEE
This maCiden she lived with no oBbther thought
Than to lFove and be loGved by Bbme.C  
VERSE:
SChe was a child and BbI was a child
In this kCingdom by the sBbea
We loCved with a love that was Bbmore than a love
FI and my Annabel LGee
With a lCove that the winged aBbngels of heaven
They coFveted hGer and Bbme.C  
CHORUS:
CAnd the moon nevFer beams
   GWithout bringing Fme dreams
   GAnd the sun nevFer shines
   GBut I see the briFght eyes
                     G     F    G-    Bb    C  G  
   I lie down by the side
VERSE:
TChe angels, not half so hBbappy in heaven
Went eCnvying her and Bbme
TChat was the reason as Bball men know
In this kFingdom by the sGea
The wCind came out of the cBbloud by night
KiFlling my, Gmy Annabel BbLee.C  
CHORUS:
CAnd the moon nevFer beams
   GWithout bringing Fme dreams
   GAnd the sun nevFer shines

VERSE:
CBut our love it was stronger by Bbfar than the love
COf those who were older than Bbwe
MCany far wiser than Bbwe
NCeither the angels in hBbeaven above
Nor the dCemons down under the Bbsea
ECver dissever my sBboul from the soul
Of the beFautiful Annabel LGee.
