(spoken : ) Full fathom five, on the seabed she lies, the Antoinette.

1. I sailed with the dawn and the wind blew free

F C

'cross the bright shining sea,

Em G F G

and it filled the sails of my Antoinette.

C

Good-bye home and the one I love,

F G

put my faith in the sky and the stars above,

F

‘cause there's nothing in this world I wouldn't bet

C

on my Antoinette !

C F C

2. She carries her name, and for you I'll try

F C

to be strong or I'll die,

Em G F G

and I'll find my grave in the rolling waves.

C

Ride on baby, don't you let me down,

F G

ocean's big and you don't wanna see me drown.

F C

But a bitter rain begins to beat the deck of the Antoinette.

G

See the rain come lashing,

C

there's a sudden flash of lightning on the foam, hold on, Antoinette !

G

The ocean rounds in fury

C

on a man who fights against it all alone, keep on, Antoinette !

F E

She goes down with a sigh and with her his last cry,

F G

Antoinette ! Antoinette !

3. Dawn breaks on the sea, and the long dark night

F C

now gives way to the light,

Em G F G

and no trace remains of the Antoinette.

C

Deep she lies on the ocean floor,

F G

far away from the girl who waits by the shore.

F C

Does she know her love is buried in the wreck of the Antoinette?

C F

Well, deep she lies, deep she lies,

C F C

Antoinette ! Antoinette !
