Loreley Tabulatur von Blackmore's Night

Am
Merrily we sailed along
D ----------------------------- Am
though the waves were plenty strong
D
down the twisted river Rhine
Am
following a song

Am
Legend's faded storyline
D -------------- Am
tried to warn us all
------------------- D
Oh, they called her Loreley
---------------- Am
careful or you’ll fall

Am -------------------- D
Oh the stories we were told
------------------Am
Quite a vision to behold
----------------- D
Mysteries of the seas
------------- Am
in her eyes of gold

Am ---------------- D
Laying on the silver stones
-------------- Am
such a lonely sight
------------ D
barnacles become a throne
---------- Am
my poor Loreley

(chorus)
D ----------------- Am
and the winds would cry
D ------------------ Am
and many men would die
F ---------------------- Am
and all the waves would bow down
D ------ Am
to the Loreley

(chorus repeat)

Am ----------------------- D
You would not believe your eyes
------------------ Am
how a voice could hypnotize
----------------- D
Promises are only lies
----- Am
from Loreley

Am ----------------- D
In a shade of mossy green
--------------- Am
seashell in her hand
------------------ D
She was born the river queen
----------------- Am
ne’er to grace the land

(chorus)
D ----------------- Am
and the winds would cry
D ------------------ Am
and many men would die
F ---------------------- Am
and all the waves would bow down
D ------ Am
to the Loreley

(chorus repeat)

Am -------------- D
Oh the song of Loreley
----------------------- Am
charms the moon right from the sky
------------- D
she will get inside your mind
------ Am
lovely Loreley

Am
When she cries
D ------------------------- Am
play with me until the end of time
------------------------ D
you know you will never be
---------- Am
with your Loreley

(chorus)
D ----------------- Am
and the winds would cry
D ------------------ Am
and many men would die
F ---------------------- Am
and all the waves would bow down
D ------ Am
to the Loreley

(chorus repeat x 3)
