Elkie Brooks - Lilac Wine
Gm
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Eb
Gave myself in that misty light
Cm
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
D
Under a lilac tree
Gm
I made wine from the lilac tree
Eb
Put my heart in its recipe
Cm
It makes me see what I want to see...
D
And be what I want to be
F#m C
When I think more than I want to think
Cm Gm
Do things I never should do
F#m C
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Cm D
Because I brings me back you...
G G7
G G7 C D G G7
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
C F G C F G C
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Eb
Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
D Am D
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
G G7 C D G G7
Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love
C Eb D G
I feel unready for my love...
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see...
And be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because It brings me back you...
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love.
