Lorelei chords by Scorpions

Chords with lyrics

intro
F#F# *2


D#mD#m
There was a time when we sailed on together
G# minorG#m
once had a dream that we shared on the way
BB
there was a place where we used to seek shelter
D#D#
I never knew the pain of the price I would pay
D#mD#m
You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
G# minorG#m
and I didn't know you had made other plans
BB
and had me believe we were meant for forever
D#D#
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands

G# minorG#m
Lorelei
BB
My ship has passed you by
        C# minorC#m
and though you promised me to show the way
D#D#
you led me astray
       G# minorG#m
you were my lorelei
BB
what kind of fool was I
      C# minorC#m
cause I believed in every word you said
   D#D#
and now I wonder why
  G# minorG#m
Lorelei


D#mD#m
There was a time when we held one another
G# minorG#m
Bearing our souls in the light of the flame
BB
Those were the days now I've lost my illusions
D#D#
Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name

A#mA#m
Lorelei
C#C#
My ship has passed you by
         D#mD#m
and though you promised me to show the way
FF
you led me astray
       A#mA#m
you were my lorelei
C#C#
what kind of fool was I
      D#mD#m
Cause I believed in every word you said
   FF
and now I wonder why
  A#mA#m ?
Lorelei

D#mD#m
now there's a light that shines on the river
G# minorG#m
Blinding my eyes from so far away
BB
Shot through the heart but now I know better
D#D#
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play


A#mA#m
Lorelei
C#C#
My ship has passed you by
         D#mD#m
and though you promised me to show the way
FF
you led me astray
       A#mA#m
you were my lorelei
C#C#
what kind of fool was I
      D#mD#m
Cause I believed in every word you said
   FF
and now I wonder why
A#mA#m
