When I think of Lorelei
My head turns all around
As gentle as a butterfly
She moves without a sound

And I can hardly wait

Her eyes become a paradise

She softly speaks my name

She brightens every lonely night

She says be there by eight

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.
