Tuning:
Now I'm not completely sure about the main melody but it sounds decent to me.
And it works very well with those chords beneath :)
This is my first time tabbing so excuse my confusing way of writing the melody.
But with these notes you'll figure out the rhythm pattern very easily by listening to a song.
e|-----------------|--------------|
B|3-3---3~35653----|3-3---3~33----|
G|-5-525-------524~|-5-525----542~|
D|-----------------|--------------|
A|-----------------|--------------|
E|-----------------|--------------|
I play it on the third fret of the B string but you could also play it higher on the neck.
And it would look like this.
e|10--10------10~1012131210-------|10--10------10~1010-------|
B|--13--131013-------------131012~|--13--131013-------131012~|

Play this chords over the melody.

Verse 1:
AmMerrily we sailed along DmThough the waves were Amplenty strong
AmDown the twisting river Rhine DmFollowCing a sAmong...
AmLegend's faded storyline DmTried to warn us Amall
AmOh, they called her "Loreley" DmCareful Cor you'll fAmall...
Bridge no.1 =>
Repeat the intro melody over these chords.
| Am | Dm Am | Am | Dm C Am |
Verse 2:
AmOh, the stories we were told DmQuite a vision to beAmhold
AmMysteries of the seas Dmin her Ceyes of Amgold...
AmLaying on the silver stone, Dmsuch a lonely Amsight
AmBarnacles become a throne, Dmmy poor CLorelAmey... Dm C Am
Chorus =>
|: Dm Am Dm Am
And the winds would cry, and many men would die
FAnd all the waves would Ambow Cdown Gto the DmLorelAmey :|
Bridge no.3 => Again repeat the intro melody.
| Am | Dm Am | Am | Dm C Am |
Verse 3:
AmYou would not believe your eyes, Dmhow a voice could Amhypnotize
AmPromises are only lies Dmfrom tChe LoreAmley
AmIn a shade of mossy green, Dmseashell in her Amhand
AmShe was born the river queen, Dmne'er to Cgrace the Amland...
Dm C Am
Chorus =>
|: Dm Am Dm Am
And the winds would cry, and many men would die
FAnd all the waves would Ambow Cdown Gto the DmLorelAmey :|
Bridge =>
|: Dm | Gm Dm | Dm | Gm F Dm :|
Here I think the band does a modulation in fourths,not completely sure
so correct me if I'm wrong but the melody changes to this.
e|3-3----3~35653----|3-3----3~33----|
B|-6-6356-------635~|-6-6356----653~|
G|------------------|---------------|
D|------------------|---------------|
A|------------------|---------------|
E|------------------|---------------|
Then Blackmoore plays a lead passage basicly outlining the E major scale,
while the band is sticking to the E major chord.
The way that I play that passage is sort of like this.
But basicly you can improvise anything in E major and it will sound okay.
e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------9-10-9109--9-------------------|
G|-------------8-9-11----------11-11-9-8-9-898-6-8-9~|
D|------7-9-11---------------------------------------|
A|7-9-11---------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|
Those 9109 and 898 are to be played as triplets.
Verse 4.
AmOh, the song of Loreley DmCharms the moon right Amfrom the sky...
AmShe will get inside your mind, lDmoveleyC LoreAmley...
AmWhen she cries "Be with me unDmtil the end of Amtime"
AmYou know you will ever be wDmith yoCur LoreAmley...
Dm C Am
Chorus =>
