IN THE KEY of C. CAPO on 5th fret and play in G

INTRO:   G   F   G   C

    G                                          C
The sound of a Dixieland band reminds him of a garden
          G		                                C
Where the old ladies sit in the shade and flutter their fans
    G                                               C
All gathered together to gossip like a bunch of old colonels
    G                                              C 
And charm the swans from the ponds with lily-white hands

    F                                           C
And is that the singing of Annabelle Lee that I hear?
   F                                       C
Is that the ghost of the lady Im dying to see?
      F                                           C
Or is it the ether that makes these echoes that I hear?
        G    F          G       C     G      C
Well, a lady is still a lady to me

G                                                 C
Growing up reckless some place on the edge of the city
G                                           C 
Taking the danger as a matter of course not concern
G                                                C
Whats the difference if theres no light in the alley?
G                                                     C
When youre so down and alone, youve got no place to turn

    F                                           C
And is that the singing of Annabelle Lee that I hear?
   F                                       C
Is that the ghost of the lady Im dying to see?
      F                                             C
Or is it the ether that makes these footsteps in my ears?
          G       C       G        C
Well, an alley is only an alley to me
      G    F        G          C        G     C
And a lady is still part of my memory
