Lorelei


Song: Lorelei Artist: I the Mighty Tabbed by: foundthvlvtsun7 Email: soccrrockr23@aim.com Band Website: http://www.myspace.com/ithemighty 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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0tTXHGKm3Q And if you find anything that sounds off, feel free to email me or leave a correction in the comments.

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" G Cadd9 He ain't scared of death, he greets the end G Cadd9 He ain't scared of death, he greets the end G Cadd9 He ain't scared of death, he greets the end G Cadd9 He ain't scared of death, he greets the end G Cadd9 Well I will, I will G Cadd9 Well I will, I will G Well I will, I will Well I will, I will Well I will
