VERSES:

Verse 1

NC
When I think of Lorelei

My head turns all around

As gentle as a butterfly

She moves without a sound



  D    C   D      G
I call her on the telephone

    D    C  D        G
She says be there by eight

  D       C   D           G
Tonight's the night she's moving in

    D C   D      G
And I can hardly wait



Verse 2

    D    C D      G
Her eyes become a paradise

    D   C  D         G
She softly speaks my name

    D    C    D            G
She brightens every lonely night

D  C     D         G
No one's quite the same


    D     C  D      G
She calls me on the telephone

    D    C  D        G
She says be there by eight

  D       C   D           G
Tonight's the night she's moving in

     D    C  D   G
It's time to celebrate




BRIDGE:
