INTRO:
[Bm] ^[Em] [Bm] // [Bm] ^[Em] ^[D] [Bm] : [x2]
^[Em] ^[D] [Bm]

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

BREAK:
[Bm] ^[Em] [Bm] // [Bm] ^[Em] ^[D] [Bm]

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

CHORUS:
[Em] And the winds would [Bm] cry, and [Em] many men would [Bm] die
And [G] all the waves would [D] bow, down [A] to the Lore-[Bm]-ley

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK:
[Bm] ^[Em] [Bm] // [Bm] ^[Em] ^[D] [Bm]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

INSTRUMENTAL:
[Em] ^[Am] [Em] // [Em] ^[Am] ^[G] [Em] : [x2]
[F#]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x4]
