Annabel Lee - A song - Video
PUBLISHED:  Nov 05, 2012
DESCRIPTION:
I do not own the words of the song (that would be dear Mr. Poe) nor the image used for this video.

My sister and I took the lovely poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe, and made it into a song! My sister played the piano and the guitar, and I played the violin and sang.
We might re-record this some day; it was actually for a school project of my sister's, and we wrote this and recorded it all within three days (which is definitely a record for us!). Perhaps to add an instrumental interlude, or some harmonies... but we'll see. :P

Comments, constructive criticism, etc. are welcome and appreciated! ^^ Enjoy!

Here's a link to the violin sheet music...

And here are the chords and lyrics!

[intro]
Bm F# B F#


It was (Bm) many and many a year ago, in a (F#) kingdom by the sea

That a (Bm) maiden there lived whom you may know by the (F#) name of Annabel Lee

And this (A) maiden she lived with no other thought

(G) than to love (F#) and be loved by me (Bm) (F#).


(Bm) I was a child and she was a child in this (F#) kingdom by the sea

But we (Bm) loved with a love that was more than love, (F#) I and my Annabel Lee

With a (A) love that the winged seraphs of heaven (G) coveted (F#) her and me (Bm)(F#).


And (Bm) this was the reason that, long ago, in this (F#) kingdom by the sea,

A (A) wind blew out of a cloud, chilling my (G) beautiful Annabel (F#) Lee

So (Bm) that her highborn kinsmen came and (F#) bore her away from me

To (A) shut her up in a sepulcher (G) in this kingdom (F#) by the sea (Bm)(F#).


The (Bm) angels, not half so happy in heaven, went (F#) envying her and me

Yes, and (Bm) that was the reason, as all men know in this (F#) kingdom by the sea,

That the (A) wind came out of a cloud by night,

(G) chilling and (F#) killing my Annabel (Bm) Lee (F#).


But our (Bm) love it was stronger by far than the love of (F#) those who were older than we

Of (G) many far wiser than (F#) we

And (Bm) neither the angels in heaven above, nor the (F#) demons down under the sea,

Can (A) ever dissever my soul from the soul of the (G) beautiful (F#) Annabel (Bm) Lee (F#).

[Octave Up]

For the (Bm) moon never beams without bringing me dreams of the (F#) beautiful Annabel Lee

And the (A) stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes of the (G) beautiful Annabel (F#) Lee

And so (Bm) all the night tide I lie down by the side of my (F#) darling - my darling - my life and my bride

In the (A) sepulcher there by the sea, in her (G) tomb by the (F#) sounding (Bm) sea (F#).

[Octave Down]

[Instrumental]
Bm F# A G F# (repeats until end)
