Verse:
Em
I lost myself on a cool damp night
C
Gave myself in that misty light
D7Am
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
D7Em
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...
D7Em
And be what I want to be
Em7A
When I think more than I want to think
AmEm
Do things I never should do
Em7A
I drink much more than I ought to drink
AmE
Because I brings me back you...
EEm7Chorus:
EE7AD7EE7
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
ABmAEAE
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
CD7
Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
D7Am7D7
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
EEm7EE7AD7EE7
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where's my love
ABmAEAE
Lilac wine, I feel unready, where's my love
CD7
Listen to me... Why's everything so hazy
D7Am7D7
Isn't that she or am I just going crazy dear?
EEm7EE7AD7EE7
Lilac Wine, is sweet and heady, where's my love
AAmD7E
I feel unready for my love...
