Chords with lyrics

E MajorE           BB
Again tonight I sang a song,
C# minorC#m         E MajorE
a prayer if you will
E MajorE            BB
Fell to the floor on blackened knees,
   C# minorC#m        E MajorE
and all the trees fell still
E MajorE             BB
Pressed my hands between my thighs,
C# minorC#m          E MajorE
and poured the thistle milk
E MajorE            BB
Begged the thunderbolts to strike
C# minorC#m       E MajorE
and mark me as alive

E MajorE       BB
Oh the lilies on the hill
E MajorE       BB
Oh the lilies on the hill
E MajorE       BB
Oh the lilies on the hill
C# minorC#m      E MajorE
Scented the night

E MajorE           BB
And so I finished up my prayer,
C# minorC#m          E MajorE
rose slowly and I stared
E MajorE           BB
But I was empty as a grave
C# minorC#m          BB
and ghostless was the air
E MajorE           BB
Lay back to bed and dulled my eyes
C# minorC#m          G# minorG#m
and searched those fruitless skies
E MajorE              BB
Again begged the thunderbolt to strike
E MajorE            C# minorC#m
to mark me or else I would die

E MajorE       BB
Oh the lilies on the hill
E MajorE       BB
Oh the lilies on the hill
E MajorE       BB
Oh the lilies on the hill
C# minorC#m      E MajorE
Scented the night

E MajorE            BB
And in the second before I sleep
E MajorE            BB
And in the second before I sleep
E MajorE            BB
Did I believe what I did see?
C# minorC#m           G# minorG#m
Did I believe what came to me?

E MajorE          BB
Appeared a figure of a man,
C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m
waving upon the hill
E MajorE        BB
To the window I ran
C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m
and saw what he had sent
E MajorE          BB
Children of a private world,
C# minorC#m        E MajorE
to be conceived in milk
E MajorE           BB
A augmentedA hundred marching to my door
C# minorC#m          E MajorE
All bringing dreams to drink

E MajorE
Thank God I'm alive!
E MajorE
Thank God I'm alive!

E MajorE       BB
Oh the lilies on the hill
C# minorC#m      G# minorG#m
Oh the lilies on the hill
E MajorE       BB
Oh the lilies on the hill
C# minorC#m      E MajorE
Scented the night
