Nina Simone – Lilac Wine (Guitar)

F#m
I lost myself on a cool damp night

D
Gave myself in that misty light

C#                  Bm
Was hypnotized by a strange delight

C#7           F#m
Under a lilac tree

                                D
I made wine from the lilac tree

                           Bdim
Put my heart in its recipe

                                   C#7
It makes me see what I want to see

                         F#m       F#9
And be what I want to be

                         B              Bm
When I think more than I want to think

                             F#m        F#9
Do things I never should do

                         B
I drink much more that I ought to drink

Bm                          C#sus4     C#
Because it brings me back you

F#        F#7       B        C#sus4 C#   F#   F#7   B
   Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love

      F#sus4 F# B    F#sus4 F#        B        B7 D
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love

                           C#
Listen to me, I cannot see clearly

                           G#m7    C#      F#
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?

      F#7     B       C#sus4 C#           F#      B
Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?

    F#sus4 F# B      F#sus4 F#7         B          D
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?

                                   C#
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?

                                 G#m7     C#sus4 C#   F#
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?

      F#7     B     C#sus4 C#     F#
Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love

F#7    B   Bm   C#   F#
Feel unready for my love
