Introduction:
Am Dm Am
Merrily we sailed along Though the waves were plenty strong
Am Dm C Am
Down the twisting river Rhine Following a song...
Am Dm Am
Legend's faded storyline Tried to warn us all
Am Dm C Am
Oh, they called her "Loreley" Careful or you'll fall...
Am Dm Am
Oh, the stories we were told Quite a vision to behold
Am Dm C Am
Mysteries of the seas in her eyes of gold...
Am Dm Am
Laying on the silver stone, such a lonely sight
Am Dm C Am Dm C Am
Barnacles become a throne, my poor Loreley...
Dm Am Dm Am
: And the winds would cry, and many men would die
Am Dm Am
You would not believe your eyes, how a voice could hypnotize
Am Dm C Am
Promises are only lies from the Loreley
Am Dm Am
In a shade of mossy green, seashell in her hand
Am Dm C Am Dm C Am
She was born the river queen, ne'er to grace the land...
Dm Am Dm Am
: And the winds would cry, and many men would die
Am Dm Am
Oh, the song of Loreley Charms the moon right from the sky...
Am Dm C Am
She will get inside your mind, loveley Loreley...
Am Dm Am
When she cries "Be with me until the end of time"
Am Dm C Am Dm C Am
You know you will ever be with your Loreley...
Dm Am Dm Am
: And the winds would cry, and many men would die
Dm Am Dm Am
And the winds would cry, and many men would die
F C Dm G Dm Am
And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...
