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#sus4 D# I never knew the pain of the price I would pay You led me on with a cloak and a dagger And I didn't know you had made other plans You had me believe we were meant for forever I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands Chorus: G#m E B Lorelei, my ship has passed you by C#m D#sus4 D# And all you promised me to show the way, you led me astray G#m E B You were my Lorelei, what kind of fool was I C#m D#sus4 D# 'Cause I believed in every word you said, and now I wonder why G#m E C#m F# Lorelei There was a time when we held one another Baring our souls in the light of the flame Those were the days now I've lost my illusions Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name Chorus Now there's a light that shines on the river Blinding my eyes from so far away Shot through the heart but now I know better As hard as it is to resist the song that you play Lorelei You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  D#  D#m  D#sus4  D#7  E  F#  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
