G                           G
She was drowned in suicide faithless lover cast aside
Em                          Am
This is how she came to be Lorelei of the sea

G                                  G
Hopes destroyed she wanted to find certain death peace of mind
Em             C          Am
Now you wonder who is she Lorelei of the sea

G                            Em
Many tales I've been told of sailors having died
C                            Am
after seeing a mermaid known as Lorelei

G                             G
Faithless lover that is me and she siren of the sea
Em                                  C
So next time that the seagulls fly don't you cry sweet Lorelei


[Chours]
G               C
Seagulls fly when mermaids cry
Am                       C
Those tears wont dry for Lorelei

G-Am   Em-D   Am-C     C
Ah-Ah  Ah-Ah  Ah-Ah-ah AH


G                                  G
The guilt is mine I was untrue the question is what am I to do
Em               C           Am               
All I know is I got to try, try to find sweet Lorelei

G                               Em
Make amends for what's been done cause I believe that she's the one
Am                                C
And I will go where seagulls fly, try to find sweet Lorelei


[Chours]
G               C
Seagulls fly when mermaids cry
Am                       C
Those tears wont dry for Lorelei

G-Am   Em-D   Am-C     C
Ah-Ah  Ah-Ah  Ah-Ah-ah AH


[Bridge]
D            C
There she is I hear her cry
D                  C
She's asking me if I will die

D                   C          Am      C         Em
There ain't nothing I won't do for you Lorelei, Lorelei

Repeat Chorus
