[Cm] ^[Fm] [Cm] // [Cm] ^[Fm] ^[D#] [Cm] : [x2]
^[Fm] ^[D#] [Cm]

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

BREAK:
[Cm] ^[Fm] [Cm] // [Cm] ^[Fm] ^[D#] [Cm]

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK:
[Cm] ^[Fm] [Cm] // [Cm] ^[Fm] ^[D#] [Cm]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

INSTRUMENTAL:
[Fm] ^[A#m] [Fm] // [Fm] ^[A#m] ^[G#] [Fm] : [x2]
[G]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x4]
