VerseEm
I lost myself on a cool damp night
C
Gave myself in that misty light
B7Am
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
B7Em
Under a lilac tree
Em
I made wine from the lilac tree
C
Put my heart in its recipe
Am
It makes me see what I want to see...
B7Em
And be what I want to be
Ddim7A
When I think more than I want to think
AmEm
Do things I never should do
Ddim7A
I drink much more than I ought to drink
AmEB7
Because I brings me back you...
ChorusEE7AB7E
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
ABmEABmEA
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
CB7
Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
B7F#m7B7
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
ChorusEE7AB7EE7
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where's my love?
ABmEABmEA
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love
CB7
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
B7F#m7B7
Isnt that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
OutroEE7AB7EE7
Lilac wine, I feel unready, for my love
AAmB7E
I feel unready for my love...
