Charley Crockett – Lily My Dear (Guitar)

F
Lily, my darling

Bb
Lily, my dear

C
For what awful reason

         Bb        F
Have you come down here?

F                Bb
Is it for money? Is it for pride?

   C                   Bb          F
Or just for the joy of watching me cry?

     F
I've gambled in Texas

Bb
Been all around

C
Stood on the corner

      Bb         F
Not a word in my mouth

F
Seen lots of people

Bb
Come rolling by

C
Throw me a dollar

        Bb          F
I could sure use me five

F
Lily, my darling

Bb
Lily, my dear

    C
For what awful reason

         F
Have you come down here?

F                Bb
Is it for money? Is it for pride?

   C                   Bb          F
Or just for the joy of watching me cry?

     F
I've got no possessions

    Bb
The money I've saved

C
All that I'm asking

       Bb         F
Is for dirt on my grave

    F
So, honey, if you love me

Bb
Just let me be

C
Lord, in this life

        Bb       F
I can't get no relief

F
Lily, my darling

Bb
Lily, my dear

    C
For what awful reason

         Bb        F
Have you come down here?

F                Bb
Is it for money? Is it for pride?

   C                   Bb          F
Or just for the joy of watching me cry?

   F
No peace for the guilty

   Bb
No rest for the sinning

C
When I get out

     Bb         F
I'll finally be winning

       F
If the good times don't kill me

    Bb
The devil, he will

C                 Bb          F
Lay me to rest on Mockingbird Hill

F
Lily, my darling

Bb
Lily, my dear

    C
For what awful reason

         Bb        F
Have you come down here?

F                Bb
Is it for money? Is it for pride?

   C                   Bb          F
Or just for the joy of watching me die?
