Lorelei Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

YEou told me tales of love and glory

SAame old sad song, same old story

SEirens sing a luC♯mllaby

AG♯mnd no one knows buBt Lorelei

Castles out of fairy tales

Timbers shiver where once there sailed

A lovesick man who caught her eye

And no one knew but Lorelei

F♯m

Chorus

River, river have mercy

B Take me down to the sea

F♯m For if I perish on these rocks

B My love no more I'll see

I've thought of you in far-off places

Puzzled over lipstick traces

So help me God, I will not try

And then I think of Lorelei

I've traveled far and wandered wide

An old photograph of you beside me

Old Man River seems so shy (?)

And he remembers Lorelei

Chorus

If I should float upon this stream

And see you in my madman's dream

I'd sink into your troubled eyes

And none would know save Lorelei

Chorus

Oh, river river river have mercy...

But if my ship which sails tomorrow

Should crash against these rocks, my sorrows

I will drown, before I die

It's you I'll see, not Lorelei

IE-I-I
