  Try these changes. I play it along with the album and it sounds right. 

  The intro progression is somewhat different, but I think it's just an 

  E-A-B-A kind of thing. Let me know if you think this is better.

      E

  You told me tales of love and glory

  A

  Same old sad song, same old story

  E             C#m

  Sirens sing a lullaby

      G#m              B

  And no one knows but Lorelei

  

  Castles out of fairy tales

  Timbers shiver where once there sailed

  A lovesick man who caught her eye

  And no one knew but Lorelei

  

          F#m

  CHORUS: River, river have mercy

                  B

          Take me down to the sea

              F#m

          For if I perish on these rocks

             B                     

          My love no more I'll see

  

  I've thought of you in far-off places

  Puzzled over lipstick traces

  So help me God, I will not try

  And then I think of Lorelei

  I've traveled far and wandered wide

  An old photograph of you beside me

  Old Man River seems so shy (?)

  And he remembers Lorelei

  

  CHORUS

  

  If I should float upon this stream

  And see you in my madman's dream

  I'd sink into your troubled eyes

  And none would know save Lorelei

  

  CHORUS: Oh, river river river have mercy...

  

  But if my ship which sails tomorrow

  Should crash against these rocks, my sorrows

  I will drown, before I die

  It's you I'll see, not Lorelei

      E

  I-I-I

  

  Outro: E A2 (repeat & end on E)
