^{Key: :[Gm] (w: Ritchie Blackmore, Candice Night)}

INTRO:
[Gm] ^[Cm] [Gm] // [Gm] ^[Cm] ^[A#] [Gm] : [x2]
^[Cm] ^[A#] [Gm]

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

BREAK:
[Gm] ^[Cm] [Gm] // [Gm] ^[Cm] ^[A#] [Gm]

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK:
[Gm] ^[Cm] [Gm] // [Gm] ^[Cm] ^[A#] [Gm]

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS: [x4]
