VERSES:

Verse 1

NC
When I think of Lorelei

My head turns all around

As gentle as a butterfly

She moves without a sound



  C    F   C      C
I call her on the telephone

    C    F  C        C
She says be there by eight

  C       F   C           C
Tonight's the night she's moving in

    C F   C      C
And I can hardly wait



Verse 2

    C    F C      C
Her eyes become a paradise

    C   F  C         C
She softly speaks my name

    C    F    C            C
She brightens every lonely night

C  F     C         C
No one's quite the same


    C     F  C      C
She calls me on the telephone

    C    F  C        C
She says be there by eight

  C       F   C           C
Tonight's the night she's moving in

     C    F  C   C
It's time to celebrate
