Lorelei Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I k[Bb]issed[Ebm] a gir[Bb]l[Ebm][D]
[Ebm]in Burma,
[D]in a town [Ebm]they called [D]Rangoon
[Ebm]Her lips were hot as curry in the heat
of the afternoon
Her kisses were so spicy I thought
[Gb]my lips would fry
[Ebm]But I never knew what kissing
was till I [Bbaug]kissed Lo[D]relei
[Ebm]Lo erelei[Gb], Lor[Cbm]e lei,[Ebm] Lorel[D]ei[Ebm]

[Verse 2]
I kissed a girl [D]in Africa,
I only had a hope (?)
And [Ebm]every time I kissed her my
ears would turn to soap
She kissed me oceans deeply and she kissed
[Gb]me mountains high
But I nev[Ebm]er knew what kissing
was [Bbaug]till I kissed Lo[D]relei
Lo[Ebm]ere le[Gb]i, Lo[Bbaug]relei, Lorelei
[Ebm]I

[Verse 3]
[Bbaug]kissed a [Ebm]girl in London town,
right underneath Big Ben
And as our lips were touching
the clock was striking ten
She kissed me there in April
and it las[Gb]ted till July
[Ebm]But I nev[D]er knew [Ebm]what kissing
was [D]till I [Bbaug]kissed Lorelei
[Ebm]Loere lei, Lorelei, Lorelei

[Verse 4]
[Ebm]I kissed a girl in the Holy Land
in the Sea of Ga[Em]lilee
She fed me dates and olives
underneath a lemon tree
She kissed me till my sunburnt lips
were [G]parched [Gb]and dry
[Em]But I never knew what kissing
was till I [Ebm]kissed Lorelei
Loerelei, [Em]Lorelei, Lorelei

[Verse 5]
[Em]You think that I'm just lying and
you think she don't exist
But if she kissed you boy you'd
know that you'd been kissed
For kissing is her speciality,
her [G]one and only dish
[Em]For Lorelei's a mermaid,
half a woman, [Em]half a fish
Lorelei, [Em]Lorelei, Lore[Cb]lei
