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

INTRO:
[G#m] ^[C#m] [G#m] // [G#m] ^[C#m] ^[B] [G#m] : [x2]
^[C#m] ^[B] [G#m]

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

BREAK:
[G#m] ^[C#m] [G#m] // [G#m] ^[C#m] ^[B] [G#m]

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK:
[G#m] ^[C#m] [G#m] // [G#m] ^[C#m] ^[B] [G#m]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

INSTRUMENTAL:
[C#m] ^[F#m] [C#m] // [C#m] ^[F#m] ^[E] [C#m] : [x2]
[D#]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x4]
