G#m                                    C#m 
There was a time when we sailed on together 
D                                     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                              C#m 
You led me on with a cloak and a dagger 
D#                                   G#m 
And i didn´t know you had made other plans 
E                                 B 
You had me believe we were meant forever 
C#m                 A                            D# 
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands 

G#m E 
Lorelei 
             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 E 
You were my lorelei 
              B 
What kind of fool i was 
          C#m 
Cause i believed in every word you said 
    D# 
And now i wonder why 
        G#m 
Lorelei 

G#m                                   C#m 
There was a time when we held one another 
D#                                      G#m 
Baring 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

And now i wonder why

G#m                                    C#m 
Now there´s a light that shines on the river 
D#                            G#m 
Blinding my eyes from so far away 
E                                          B 
Shot through the heart but now i know better 
C#m                   A                       D#m 
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play
