Lillian Egypt by Josh Ritter

Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:

F-F-Am-Bb

I remember back in Illinois I found her
The lily of the valley the lily of the West was a rose
The daughter of the biggest big town banker
He kept her like a princess
I stole her like the Fort Knox gold

Verse 2:

F-F-Am-Bb

She used to pour Four Roses like it was going down the chimney
The bottle was on fire, the boiler was about to blow
She's up on the table when we hit Missouri
Dancing with a movie man he's holding her a little too close

Chorus

Dm-Am-Gm-Gm

La dada da da da da da da da
La dada da da da da da da da

Verse 3:

F-F-Am-Bb

He made her the star of the silent movies
But all she did was mouth the words all she did was mouth the words, "Oh no!"
He cast me as the villain as the sheriff's worst enemy
I practiced falling off of buildings and out windows

Chorus:

Dm-Am-Gm-Gm

La dada da da da da da da da
La dada da da da da da da da

Bridge (With Piano):

F-F-Am-Bb

The last time I saw she was tied to the train tracks
I was up there with the extras riding on a tiger roan
The villain on the left with the studio mustache
Winking at Lillian blowing kisses from the second row

Chorus:

Dm-Am-Gm-Gm

La dada da da da da da da da
La dada da da da da da da da

Outro:

Dm-Am-Gm-Gm x2
