I The Mighty - Lorelei Chords

Tuning: Half Step Down (D# G# C# F# A# D#)

In the actual song, there is a picking pattern to go with
these chords (as well as an extra guitar part), but strumming
them sounds fine too. You can watch this video to get an idea
of what he's doing:

And if you find anything that sounds off, feel free to email
me or leave a correction in the comments.

I'd drive, drive back to my old town life
         Em           C           G                  D
And when I say that I miss you, I know it don't mean much
    Am                         C
But I'll see you again, my Lorelei
D   G      Cadd9
I, I will, I will"

Takes a Greyhound back to his hometown, to the steps of her old front yard
     G                                     Cadd9
He's sent to Graveyard Boulevard, where he finds her at the top of the hill
   G                                         Cadd9
He mouths the words "Will you marry me?" Her tombstone reads "I will"


            Am  C          G                  D
He sings "If I, I could've asked you out that night
         Am              C         G                     D
I'd have led a different life, and maybe you would be my wife
    Em             C                  G                  D
But now I sit here missing you, and I know it don't mean much
    Am                         C
But I'll see you again, my Lorelei
D   G      Cadd9    G      Cadd9
I, I will, I will, I will, I will"

He ain't scared of death, he greets the end

Well I will, I will
