(G C D C)
She was drowned in suicide
Faithless lover cast aside
This is how she came to be
Lorelei of the sea
(G C D C)
Hopes destroyed she wanted to find
Certain death peace of mind
Now you wonder who is she
Lorelei of the sea
(G C D C)
Many tales I've been told
Of sailors having died
After seeing a mermaid known as
Lorelei
(G C D C)
Faithless lover that is me
And she siren of the sea
Next time that the seagulls fly
Don't you cry sweet Lorelei
(G C D C)
Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Those tears won't dry
For Lorelei
(G C D C)
Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Those tears won't dry
For Lorelei
(G C D C)
The guilt is mine I was untrue
The question is what am I to do
All I know is I got to try
Try to find sweet Lorelei
(G C D C)
Make amends for what's been done
Cause I believe that she's the one
And I will go where seagulls fly
Try to find sweet Lorelei
(G C D C)
Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Those tears won't dry
For Lorelei
(G C D C)
Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Those tears won't dry
For Lorelei
(G C D C)
There she is I hear her cry
Asking me if I will die
There ain't nothing I won't do
For you, Lorelei, Lorelei
(G C D C)
Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Those tears won't dry
For Lorelei
(G C D C)
Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Those tears won't dry
(oh, I'm coming for you)
For Lorelei
(G C D C)
Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Those tears won't dry
For Lorelei
(G C D C)
Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Those tears won't dry
For Lorelei
(oh, I'm coming for you)
(oh, I'm coming for you)
