VERSES:
Verse 1
NC
When I think of Lorelei
My head turns all around
As gentle as a butterfly
She moves without a sound

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
