Brooks, Elkie - 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   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

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...
