[Intro] G#m | E | C#m | F# x2 [Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
G#m                                  D#m
There was a time when we held one another

D#7                                    G#m
Bearing 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
Lorelei

F#            C#
My ship has passed you by

                  D#m
and though you promised me to show the way

F
you led me astray

              A#m
you were my lorelei

F#            C#
what kind of fool was I

           D#m
Cause I believed in every word you said

     F
and now I wonder why

   A#m ?

[Verse 3]
G#m                                  D#m
now there's a light that shines on the river

D#7                          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
Lorelei

F#            C#
My ship has passed you by

                  D#m
and though you promised me to show the way

F
you led me astray

              A#m
you were my lorelei

F#            C#
what kind of fool was I

           D#m
Cause I believed in every word you said

     F
and now I wonder why

A#m
