[Verse 1]
    A              C           D              A
The chamber was in confusion - all the voices shouting loud.

        C                 Bm                            G                   A
I could only just hear, a voice quite near say, "Please help me through the crowd"

          A                             C                        D                A
Said if I helped her through' she could help me too, but I could see that she was wholly blind.

             C                 Bm        G              A
But from her pale face and her pale skin, a moonlight shined.
[Chorus]
          E
Lilywhite Lilith,

D                               G               A
She gonna take you through' the tunnel of night

          E       G
Lilywhite Lilith,

              D
She gonna lead you right.

[Verse 2]
         A                   C           D             A
When I'd led her through the people, the angry noise began to grow.

          C                       Bm                     G                 A
She said "Let me feel the way the breezes blow, and I'll show you where to go."

     A                   C                                 D                   A
So I followed her into a big round cave, she said "They're coming for you, now don't be afraid."

         C                Bm                G           A
Then she sat me down on a cold stone throne, carved in jade.
[Chorus]
          E
Lilywhite Lilith,

D                               G               A
She gonna take you through' the tunnel of night

          E       G
Lilywhite Lilith,

              D          G A
She gonna lead you right.
[Instrumental] Bb Dm Bb7 Dm Gbaug Gbaug [Bridge]
    D               Gm
She leaves me in my darkness,

  Bb             C       D
I have to face, face my fear,

        D               Gm
And the darkness closes in on me,

      Bb                    C       D
I can hear a whirring sound growing near.

      D
I can see the corner of the tunnel,

    Gm               C      D     Gm
Lit up by whatever's coming here.

    D
Two golden globes float into the room

      Gm                   C         D
And a blaze of white light fills the air.
