INTRO:
[Em] ^[Am] [Em] // [Em] ^[Am] ^[G] [Em] : [x2]
^[Am] ^[G] [Em]

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

BREAK:
[Em] ^[Am] [Em] // [Em] ^[Am] ^[G] [Em]

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK:
[Em] ^[Am] [Em] // [Em] ^[Am] ^[G] [Em]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x4]
