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

It's time to celebrate

not bad overall the keyboard part switches from that original D based chord to a G based one though you may want to incorporate a change, something like this perhaps: e|----3---3---3---3---3-| B|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--| G|--0---0---0---0---0---| D|----------------------| A|----------------------| E|----------------------| its not really how it changes, but its an easy way to switch the chord around

That's an idea, but I'm pretty sure that the notes are A and D. Whatever works for you, though.
