Introduction:
Em
I lost myself on a cool damp night
C
Gave myself in that misty light
B7 Am
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
B7 Em
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...
B7 Em
And be what I want to be
Dº A
When I think more than I want to think
Am Em
Do things I never should do
Dº A
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Am Em B7
Because it brings me back you...
E E7 A B7 E E7
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
A Bm E A Bm E A
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love

E E7 A B7 E E7

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where' s my love
