Fm        Eb  Bb
   In the sad silence of night
Fm       Eb                Bb
   Lurid sea, so still and dead
Fm         Eb   Bb
   I heard Anna weep for her fate
      Fm            Eb                  Bb
Waves breathing the tears that she shed
Cm         Ab           Bb              Eb
   So Anna Lee gave her body to the sea
    Cm           Ab          Bb
The ocean became her tranqil grave
Cm         Ab       Bb              Eb
   No more sorrows, now she is free
Cm               Ab  Bb          C
Devoured by just one greedy wave
Fm      Eb              Bb
   Anna Lee lost in the kingdom by the sea
Fm        Eb          Bb
   By the sea with no shore
Fm        Eb   Bb
   In the lone ancient kingly halls
    Fm           Eb      Bb
She chose not to live anymore


[Pre-chorus]
Cm         Ab           Bb              Eb
   So Anna Lee gave her body to the sea
        Cm       Ab             Bb
To reach she was never meant to be
Cm     Ab        Bb          Eb
   The waves are her destiny
    Cm           Bb           Eb  C
And now she's my queen of the sea


[Chorus]
     Fm      Eb        Ab
So I sailed across the sea
   Fm      Eb        Db
To find my dear Anna Lee
        Fm           Eb      Ab
But the waves didn't let her go
        Fm         Eb        Db   C
And the wind never ceased to blow


[Verse]
Fm        Eb        Bb
   Anna yearned for mountains and fields
Fm                Eb          Bb
   She longed for flowers and trees
Fm             Eb           Bb
   But most of all for just one single smile
      Fm             Eb          Bb
And a slumber in the warm summer breeze


[Pre-chorus]
Cm         Ab           Bb              Eb
   So Anna Lee gave her body to the sea
    Cm           Ab          Bb
The ocean became her tranqil grave
Cm         Ab       Bb              Eb
   No more sorrows, now she is free
Cm               Ab  Bb          C
Devoured by just one greedy wave


[Chorus]
     Fm      Eb        Ab
So I sailed across the sea
   Fm      Eb        Db
To find my dear Anna Lee
        Fm           Eb      Ab
But the waves didn't let her go
        Fm         Eb        Db
And the wind never ceased to blow
     Fm        Eb       Ab
So I sailed to find the shore
    Fm            Eb      Db       Fm   Db  Fm   Db  Fm   Eb
But couldn't find home anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore


[Bridge]
Db Fm Eb     Ab
Away, so far away
   Db       Fm      Eb
My bride is so far away
Db Fm Eb     Ab
Away, so far away
   Db      Fm      Eb
My love is so far away

Fm Eb Ab Fm Eb Db (x4)


[Outro]
  Fm           Eb         Db      Ab
I came to this hall where she was before
  Fm          Eb             Db         Ab
I shivered, I quivered but I opened the door
  Fm    Eb       Db              Ab
A sweet scent of violetts in the air
    Fm          Eb      Db           Ab
But Anna - Anna Lee - no, she wasn't there
              Fm            Eb          Ab
So close your eyes that one day you may see
        Fm          Eb         Db
Me sing songs to my sweet Anna Lee
              Fm            Eb          Ab
So close your eyes that one day you may see
        Fm          Eb         Db
Me sing songs to my sweet Anna Lee
              Fm            Eb          Ab
So close your eyes that one day you may see
        Fm          Eb           Db
Me sing songs to my queen of the sea
