E B
Again tonight I sang a song,
C#m E
a prayer if you will
E B
Fell to the floor on blackened knees,
C#m E
and all the trees fell still
E B
Pressed my hands between my thighs,
C#m E
and poured the thistle milk
E B
Begged the thunderbolts to strike
C#m E
and mark me as alive
E B
Oh the lilies on the hill
E B
Oh the lilies on the hill
E B
Oh the lilies on the hill
C#m E
Scented the night
E B
And so I finished up my prayer,
C#m E
rose slowly and I stared
E B
But I was empty as a grave
C#m B
and ghostless was the air
E B
Lay back to bed and dulled my eyes
C#m G#m
and searched those fruitless skies
E B
Again begged the thunderbolt to strike
E C#m
to mark me or else I would die
E B
Oh the lilies on the hill
E B
Oh the lilies on the hill
E B
Oh the lilies on the hill
C#m E
Scented the night
E B
And in the second before I sleep
E B
And in the second before I sleep
E B
Did I believe what I did see?
C#m G#m
Did I believe what came to me?
E B
Appeared a figure of a man,
C#m G#m
waving upon the hill
E B
To the window I ran
C#m G#m
and saw what he had sent
E B
Children of a private world,
C#m E
to be conceived in milk
E B
A hundred marching to my door
C#m E
All bringing dreams to drink
E
Thank God I'm alive!
E
Thank God I'm alive!
E B
Oh the lilies on the hill
C#m G#m
Oh the lilies on the hill
E B
Oh the lilies on the hill
C#m E
Scented the night
