Okay I finally got round to doing Lilac Wine : "The reason men drink" Jeff In concert, August 1994
Try and play it with barre chords to give that muted jazzy feel Particularly the G G7 bit. As it is fairly jazzy I may have simplifed The harmonies a bit, but try it and see. As normal I make no claims as To accuracy.
Lilac Wine [Cover]
Gm I lost myself on a cool damp night Eb Gave myself in that misty light Cm Was hypnotized by a strange delight D Under a lilac tree Gm I made wine from the lilac tree Eb Put my heart in its recipe Cm It makes me see what I want to see... D And be what I want to be F#m C When I think more than I want to think Cm Gm Do things I never should do F#m C I drink much more that I ought to drink Cm D Because I brings me back you...
G G7
G G7 C D G G7 Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love C F G C F G C Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love Eb Listen to me... I cannot see clearly D Am D Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
And reapeat patterns.
And the last bit (the coda? My musical education is sadly lacking)
G G7 C D G G7 Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love C Eb D G I feel unready for my love...
LYRICS
I lost myself on a cool damp night Gave myself in that misty light Was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree I made wine from the lilac tree Put my heart in its recipe It makes me see what I want to see... And be what I want to be When I think more than I want to think Do things I never should do I drink much more that I ought to drink Because It brings me back you...
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love Listen to me... I cannot see clearly Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love? Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy? Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
