[Am] ^[Dm] [Am] // [Am] ^[Dm] ^[C] [Am] : [x2]
^[Dm] ^[C] [Am]

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

BREAK:
[Am] ^[Dm] [Am] // [Am] ^[Dm] ^[C] [Am]

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK:
[Am] ^[Dm] [Am] // [Am] ^[Dm] ^[C] [Am]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

INSTRUMENTAL:
[Dm] ^[Gm] [Dm] // [Dm] ^[Gm] ^[F] [Dm] : [x2]
[E]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x4]
