Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[F#m]POGUES[A] - LORELEI

[Verse 2]
[D]You told me tales of love an[G]d glory
[D]Sam[G]e old sad songs,
same old story
[D]The sirens sing no [Bm]lullaby
And [F#m]no- one knows but Lo[A]relei.

[Verse 3]
By [D]castles out of fairytales
[G]Timbers shivered where once there sailed
The [D]lovesick men [Bm]who caught her eye
And [F#m]no- one knew but Lo[A]relei.

[Verse 4]
[Em]River, river have mercy
Take me [A]down to the sea
For [Em]if I perish on these rocks
My [A]love no more I'll see...
[D]

[Verse 5]
I've thought of you in far- off places
I've [G]puzzled over lipstick traces
So [D]help me god, I [Bm]will not cry
And [F#m]then I think of L[A]orelei.

[Verse 6]
[D]I travel far and wander wide
[G]No photograph of you beside me
[D]Ol' man river's [Bm]not so shy
And [F#m]he remembers Lor[A]elei.

[Verse 7]
[Em]River, river have mercy
Take me [A]down to the sea
For [Em]if I perish on these rocks
My [A]love no more I'll see.

[Verse 8]
If [D]I should float upon this stream
[G]And see you in my madman's dream
[D]I'd sink into your [Bm]troubled eyes
And none [F#m]would know 'cept [A]Lorelei.

[Verse 9]
[Em]River, river have mercy
Take me [A]down to the sea
For [Em]if I perish on these rocks
My [A]love no more I'll [Asus4]see.
[A]But

[Verse 10]
[D]if my ship,
which sails tomorrow
[G]Should crash against these rocks,
My sorrows [D]I will drown bef[Bm]ore I die
It's [F#m]you I'll see,
[A]not[D][G][D][Bm][D]
[A][Asus4][D][Dsus4][D]
