Intro: G#m E C#m F# x2

Verse:
G#m                                  D#m
There was a time when we sailed on together
D#                                     G#m
Once had a dream that we shared on the way
E                                         B
There was a place where we used to seek shelter
C#m               A                        D#
I never knew the pain of the price I would pay

Verse:
G#m                              D#m
You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
    D#                                G#m
And I didn’t know you had made other plans
     E                                 B
You had me believe we were meant for forever
C#m                  A                          D#
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands

Chorus:
G#m   E
Lorelei
             B         B
My ship has passed you by
                 C#m           C#m
And though you promised me to show the way
D#             D#
You led me astray
             G#m   E
You were my Lorelei
             B        B
What kind of fool was I
            C#m            C#m
ʼCause I believed in every word you said
     D#          D#
And now I wonder why
G#m
Lorelei

G#m E C#m F#

Verse:
G#m                                D#m
There was a time when we held one another
D#                                    G#m
Baring our souls in the light of the flame
E                                       B
Those were the days now I’ve lost my illusions
C#m                     A                         D#
Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name

Chorus:
A#m   F#
Lorelei
             C#         C#
My ship has passed you by
                 D#m           D#m
And though you promised me to show the way
F              F
You led me astray
            A#m  F#
You were my Lorelei
              C#     C#
What kind of fool was I
            D#m            D#m
ʼCause I believed in every word you said
     F            F
And now I wonder why
    A#m
Lorelei

G#m E C#m F#

    G#m                                D#m
Now there’s a light that shines on the river
D#                           G#m
Blinding my eyes from so far away
E                                      B
Shot through the heart but now I know better
   C#m               A                        D#
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play

Chorus:
A#m   F#
Lorelei
             C#        C#
My ship has passed you by
                 D#m           D#m
And though you promised me to show the way
F              F
You led me astray
       A#m F#
Oh! Lorelei
              C#      C#
What kind of fool was I
            D#m            D#m
ʼCause I believed in every word you said
     F            F
And now I wonder why
    A#m
Lorelei

Coda: A#m F# D#m G# x2
