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

INTRO:
[F#m] ^[Bm] [F#m] // [F#m] ^[Bm] ^[A] [F#m] : [x2]
^[Bm] ^[A] [F#m]

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

BREAK:
[F#m] ^[Bm] [F#m] // [F#m] ^[Bm] ^[A] [F#m]

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK:
[F#m] ^[Bm] [F#m] // [F#m] ^[Bm] ^[A] [F#m]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

INSTRUMENTAL:
[Bm] ^[Em] [Bm] // [Bm] ^[Em] ^[D] [Bm] : [x2]
[C#]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x4]
