Lillian, Egypt by Josh Ritter chords figured out by Matt Rowley (thanks to Brandon Cripps for fixing the chorus!) (thanks to Chris Walmsley for figuring out the electric guitar riffs!) F I remember back in Illinois I found her Am7 Dm The lily of the valley the lily of the West was a rose F The daughter of the biggest big town banker Am7 Gm He kept her like a princess I stole her like the Fort Knox gold F She used to pour Four Roses like it was going down the chimney Am7 Dm Like the bottle was on fire or the boiler was about to blow F She was up on the table when we hit Missouri Am7 Gm Dancing with a movie man he was holding her a little too close Dm7 Am7 Gm La didi da da da da da da da! *Riff* F He made her the star of the silent movies Am7 Dm But all she did was mouth the words all she did was mouth the words, "Oh no!" F And he cast me as the villain as the sheriff's worst enemy Am7 Gm I practiced falling off of buildings and out windows Dm7 Am7 Gm La didi da da da da da da da! *Riff* F The last time I saw she was tied to the train tracks Am7 Dm I was back there with the extras riding on a tiger roan F The villain on the left with the studio mustache Am7 Gm Winking at Lillian blowing kisses from the second row Dm7 Am7 Gm La didi da da da da da da da! *Riff* Riff = E------10-10--10--8----8--6--6-6--5------------ B------11-11--11--10--10--8--8-8--6------------ G---------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------- Notes ----- Each line with F throughout is followed by a 2nd bar of F without lyrics.
