[Intro]
 Gm   Eb   Cm   Dx2
[Verse 1]
Several Gmhundred years before, a gambler and a monk embarked
On a Eblong trek through the endless prairies of the North;
They Cmhad a fierce debate about God and chance and fate,
And to reDsolve it agreed a game of cards indeed be played.
The Gmgame went on all day, and through the next and next they played,
And arEbound them a shelter was built to shield the rain,
A street arCmound the shelter formed, then a church, a house, a bar,
And Gmthat is how the Dcity of New D+Albion was Gmborn.
GmThat is how the Dcity of New D+Albion was Gmborn.
[Interlude]
Gm Eb Cm D
[Verse 2]
New GmAlbion today, With bustling streets, machines, cafes
And the Ebnice, the wise, the eccentric and insane
The CmMafia’s run by a red haired dwarf with just one eye
Whose afDfairs he decides with a pair of silver dice
Over the GmZeppelin Union Pilots, a castrati boss presides
And we Ebhear his song each afternoon as he flies by
There’s Cmprisons made of lead, and gargoyles of iron shreds
And GmAnnabelle McDAlistair who’s D+raising up the Gmdead
GmAnnabelle McDAlistair who’s D+raising up the Gmdead
[Interlude]
Gm Eb Cm D
[Verse 3]
The LGmodge on Ashland Street is where the Alchemists Guild meets
And to jEboin you have to craft a glass pearl from a young girl’s dream
A gCmroup of thieves they heard, broke in the lodge to steal the pearls
But in the mDorning they were found there sitting staring unperturbed
The twGmilight fog they say, an aphrodisiac contains
Nonsense, Ebbut yet they copulate in doorways anyway
There’s iCmnventors and inbred in upper class it’s been said
And GmAnnabelle McDAlistair who’s D+raising up the Gmdead
GmAnnabelle McDAlistair who’s D+raising up the Gmdead
[Outro]
GmClever little DAnnabella D+with her clever Gmhead.
Oh, GmAnnabelle McDAlistair who’s D+raising up the Gmdead.

[Intro]

Gm Eb Cm D

[Verse 1]

Several hundred years before, a gambler and a monk embarked

On a long trek through the endless prairies of the North;

They had a fierce debate about God and chance and fate,

And to resolve it agreed a game of cards indeed be played.

The game went on all day, and through the next and next they played,

And around them a shelter was built to shield the rain,

A street around the shelter formed, then a church, a house, a bar,

Gm D D+ Gm

And that is how the city of New Albion was born.

Gm D D+ Gm

That is how the city of New Albion was born.

[Interlude]

Gm Eb Cm D

[Verse 2]

New Albion today, With bustling streets, machines, cafes

And the nice, the wise, the eccentric and insane

The Mafia’s run by a red haired dwarf with just one eye

Whose affairs he decides with a pair of silver dice

Over the Zeppelin Union Pilots, a castrati boss presides

And we hear his song each afternoon as he flies by

There’s prisons made of lead, and gargoyles of iron shreds

Gm D D+ Gm

And Annabelle McAlistair who’s raising up the dead

Gm D D+ Gm

Annabelle McAlistair who’s raising up the dead

[Interlude]

Gm Eb Cm D

[Verse 3]

The Lodge on Ashland Street is where the Alchemists Guild meets

And to join you have to craft a glass pearl from a young girl’s dream

A group of thieves they heard, broke in the lodge to steal the pearls

But in the morning they were found there sitting staring unperturbed

The twilight fog they say, an aphrodisiac contains

Nonsense, but yet they copulate in doorways anyway

There’s inventors and inbred in upper class it’s been said

Gm D D+ Gm

And Annabelle McAlistair who’s raising up the dead

Gm D D+ Gm

Annabelle McAlistair who’s raising up the dead

[Outro]

Gm D D+ Gm

Clever little Annabella with her clever head.

Gm D D+ Gm

Oh, Annabelle McAlistair who’s raising up the dead.
