Verse:
GShe was drowned in suicide faithless lover cast aside
EmThis is Chow she came to be Lorelei of the sea
GHopes destroyed she wanted to find certain death peace of mind
EmNow you Cwonder who is she Lorelei of the sea
Many tales I've been told of sailors having died
after seeing a mermaid known as Lorelei
Faithless lover that is me and she siren of the sea
So next time that the seagulls fly don't you cry sweet Lorelei
[Chours]
GSeagulls fly when mermaids cry
EmThose tears wCont dry for Lorelei
The guilt is mine I was untrue the question is what am I to do
All I know is I got to try to find sweet Lorelei
Make amends for what's been done cause I believe that she's the one
Try to find sweet Lorelei
[Repeat chours]
