Intro:

G D Em G D A
 
Verse 1:
G        D              A
She told a story of two girls
G              D              A
Dancing in the air
G           D                Em G               D               Em
"Whispering 'irresitiable' now she touching her hair"
G            D            A
And she said "Lilacs look pretty with nickels"
G  D       A
Oh-woah oh-woah-ooh
G      D                      A
Lilacs look pretty with nickels
 
Verse 2:
G                D        Em
"Secrets shared, time and time again
G            D       Em G           D              Em
"One day they told her 'You cannot continue' now,
G                          D           Em
"Her hearts feeling scared"
G         D      Em        G        D        Em
She said "Lilacs cannot be sold for nickels"
G                            D          Em
Now when she passes the feild,
G               D
her heart aches differently
Em
I sat there stunned,
G
Now she's gunned
D                  Em           G
But she brought a nickel to the feild again,
D                     Em
And they gave her the lilac half dead
G          D             Em       G        D                Em
"She said 'If it's for a nickel it doesn't need to be pretty'"
G              D                  Em
The next part, it's full of dread see,

[Verse 3- Mezzo Piano]
G                  D                          Em
There were no more lilacs that a nickel would buy
G              D      Em
So she let the flower die
G         D              Em
And she wouldn't say goodbye
 
[Outro- Piano]
G                  D      A
I think back to my story
G      D                A
Lilacs look pretty with nickels
G        D                 Em
But now, nickels only make lilacs die
G              D                  A
I stare at the sky while I whisper
G       D                Em
"Lilacs look pretty with nickels"
