Lorelei

D /
D / G / D Bm F#m A

    D
You told me tales of love and glory
G
Same old sad songs, same old story
D               Bm
The sirens sing no lullaby
    F#m                A
But no-one knows 'cept Lorelei

     D
Like castle’s out of fairy tales
G
Timbers shivered where once they sailed
D                    Bm
The lovesick men who caught her eye
    F#m             A
And no-one knew but Lorelei

Em
River, river of mercy
        A
Take me down to the sea
    Em
For if I perish on these rocks
   A                            D /
My love no more I’ll see

  D
I thought of you in far off places
    G
And puzzled over lipstick traces
   D              Bm
So help me God, I will not cry
    F#m             A
And then I think of Lorelei

  D
I traveled far and wondered why
   G
No photograph of you beside me
D               Bm
Old man river’s not too shy
    F#m          A
And he remembers Lorelei

Em
River, river of mercy
        A
Take me down to the sea
    Em
For if I perish on these rocks
   A
My love no more I’ll see

D / G / D Bm F#m A

   D
If I should float upon this stream
    G
And see you in my madman’s dream
    D              Bm
I’d sink into your troubled eye
    F#m                   A
And none would know 'cept Lorelei

Em
River, river of mercy
        A
Take me down to the sea
    Em
For if I perish on these rocks
   A
My love no more I’ll see

    D
But if my ship which sails tomorrow
       G
Should crash against these rocks my sorrow
D            Bm
I will drown before I die
    F#m               A
And you I’ll see, not Lorelei -i -i

D            G
    Lorelei -i
D           Bm
Lorelei- i -i
   F#m         A           D
Oh Lorelei
