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

INTRO:
[C#m] ^[F#m] [C#m] // [C#m] ^[F#m] ^[E] [C#m] : [x2]
^[F#m] ^[E] [C#m]

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

BREAK:
[C#m] ^[F#m] [C#m] // [C#m] ^[F#m] ^[E] [C#m]

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK:
[C#m] ^[F#m] [C#m] // [C#m] ^[F#m] ^[E] [C#m]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

INSTRUMENTAL:
[F#m] ^[Bm] [F#m] // [F#m] ^[Bm] ^[A] [F#m] : [x2]
[G#]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x4]
