Chords with lyrics

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
			    Lily of the West - Mark Knopfler & The Chieftains

Tuning: Standard

This song is from the Chieftains album "The Long Black Veil" but this
version is arranged and sung by Mark Knopfler. Everything should be correct.

Have fun playing this great tune.

Saying I bid adieu to Molly O', the lily of the west


Well, I stepped up with my rapier and my dagger in my hand

And I dragged him from my false love and boldly I bid him stand

But being mad with desperation I swore I'd pierce his breast

I was then deceived by Molly O', the lily of the west


I then did stand stand my trial, and boldly I did plead

Chord diagramA augmentedA flaw was in my indictment found and that soon had me freed

That beauty bright I did adore, the judge did her address

Now go, you faithless Molly O', the lily of the west


Now that I've gained my liberty a-rovin' I will go

I ramble through old Ireland and travel Scotland o'er

Though she thought to swear my life away she still disturbs my rest,

I still must style her, Molly O', the lily of the west.
