CAPO ON #3

C majorC        G+G
Lilly loved her rocking horse
 D MajorD
Until she learnt to sing,
  C majorC          G+G
And people?d say, ?Your lass, she play,
   D MajorD
She?s such a pretty thing?
     C majorC     D MajorD    C majorC
And she?s all of the time in the world.
C majorC        G+G
Lilly loved her brother so,
   D MajorD
They start to face it all,
C majorC        G+G
Standing high to touch the sky,
  D MajorD
But yet just three feet tall,
     C majorC      D MajorD    C majorC
And they had all the love in the world.

C majorC            G+G           D MajorD
She walked from rope to floor through love and war,
  C majorC        G+G         D MajorD
She gave up all she had and still gave more,
  C majorC          G+G         D MajorD
Her stars and there?s a light and burning bright,
     C majorC
But then tonight,
A minorAm     D MajorD   C majorC
I?m feeling older now.

(Instrumental)
C majorC  G+G  D MajorD
C majorC  G+G  D MajorD
C majorC  G+G  D MajorD
C majorC  D MajorD  C majorC

C majorC        G+G
Lilly she?d look over land
   D MajorD
She?d like to make her home,
   C majorC        G+G
It?s there she had a loving man,
  D MajorD
Never to be alone,
    C majorC      D MajorD      C majorC
And she had all the love in the world,
  C majorC        G+G
And Lilly?s so much older then,
   D MajorD
With nothing left to fear,
 C majorC        G+G
Until one day she dared to say,
D MajorD
?Listen all you near,
   C majorC      D MajorD      C majorC
For I have all the time in the world?

C majorC            G+G           D MajorD
She walked from rope to floor through love and war,
  C majorC        G+G         D MajorD
She gave up all she had and still gave more,
  C majorC          G+G         D MajorD
Her stars and there?s a light and burning bright,
     C majorC
But then tonight,
A minorAm     D MajorD   C majorC
I?m feeling older now.

C majorC       G+G
Lilly she her baby rocked
  D MajorD
So silently to sleep,
C majorC       G+G
Carefully she laid alone
  D MajorD
And dared to slumber deep,
    C majorC      D MajorD      C majorC
And she held all the love in the world,
C majorC        D MajorD      C majorC
But Lilly wasn?t long for the world.
