Blackmore's Night, Loreley (2003)
^{Key: :[D#m] (w: Ritchie Blackmore, Candice Night)}

INTRO:
[D#m] ^[G#m] [D#m] // [D#m] ^[G#m] ^[F#] [D#m] : [x2]
^[G#m] ^[F#] [D#m]

VERSE 1:
[D#m] Merrily we sailed along, [G#m] though the waves were [D#m] plenty strong
Down the twisting river Rhine, [G#m] follow-[F#]-ing a [D#m] song
Legend's faded storyline, [G#m] tried to warn us [D#m] all
Oh, they called her Loreley, [G#m] careful [F#] or you'll [D#m] fall

BREAK:
[D#m] ^[G#m] [D#m] // [D#m] ^[G#m] ^[F#] [D#m]

VERSE 2:
[D#m] Oh, the stories we were told, [G#m] quite a vision to be-[D#m]-hold
Mysteries of the seas, [G#m] in her [F#] eyes of [D#m] gold
Laying on the silver stone, [G#m] such a lonely [D#m] sight
Barnacles become a throne, [G#m] my poor [F#] Lore-[D#m]-ley [G#m] [F#] [D#m]

CHORUS:
[G#m] And the winds would [D#m] cry, and [G#m] many men would [D#m] die
And [B] all the waves would [F#] bow, down [C#] to the Lore-[D#m]-ley

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK:
[D#m] ^[G#m] [D#m] // [D#m] ^[G#m] ^[F#] [D#m]

VERSE 3:
[D#m] You would not believe your eyes, [G#m] how a voice could [D#m] hypnotize
Promises are only lies, [G#m] from [F#] the Lore-[D#m]-ley
In a shade of mossy green, [G#m] seashell in her [D#m] hand
She was born the river queen, [G#m] ne'er to [F#] grace the [D#m] land [G#m] [F#] [D#m]

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

INSTRUMENTAL:
[G#m] ^[C#m] [G#m] // [G#m] ^[C#m] ^[B] [G#m] : [x2]
[A#]

VERSE 4:
[D#m] Oh, the song of Loreley, [G#m] charms the moon right [D#m] from the sky
She will get inside your mind, [G#m] lovely [F#] Lore-[D#m]-ley
When she cries "Be with me, un-[G#m]-til the end of [D#m] time"
You know you will ever be, [G#m] with [F#] your Lore-[D#m]-ley [G#m] [F#] [D#m]

REPEAT CHORUS: [x4]
