G#m D#m
There was a time when we sailed on together
D#7 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
G#m D#m
You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
D#7 G#m
and I didn't know you had made other plans
E B
and had me believe we were meant for forever
C#m A D#
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands
G#m
Lorelei
E B
My ship has passed you by
C#m
and though you promised me to show the way
D#
you led me astray
G#m
you were my lorelei
E B
what kind of fool was I
C#m
cause I believed in every word you said
D#
and now I wonder why
G#m
Lorelei

Lorelei
G#m D#m
now there's a light that shines on the river

Blinding my eyes from so far away
