verses :

verse 1

nc
when i think of lorelei

my head turns all around

as gentle as a butterfly

she moves without a sound

D C D G
i call her on the telephone

D C D G
she says be there by eight

D C D G
tonight’s the night she’s moving in

D C D G
and i can hardly wait

verse 2

D C D G
her eyes become a paradise

D C D G
she softly speaks my name

D C D G
she brightens every lonely night

D C D G
no one’s quite the same

D C D G
she calls me on the telephone

D C D G
she says be there by eight

D C D G
tonight’s the night she’s moving in

D C D G
it’s time to celebrate

bridge :

A aa aa aa
and when she moves

G G G
oo – oo – oo

a aa aa aa
i gotta say

chorus :

D C D G G G

D C D G G G
brighter than the stars forever

D C D G G G
lorelei let’s live together

brighter than the stars forever

D
oh , baby , forever
