Artist: Josh Ritter Album: The Animal Years Year: 2006 Title: Lillian, Egypt awesome song with no tabs so i did it by ear :S if you have comments/suggestions lemme [email protected] im not sure what the C should really be, but using a C sounds ok. F I remember back in Illinois I found her Am G# The lily of the valley the lily of the West was a rose F The daughter of the biggest big town banker Am G# He kept her like a princess I stole her like the Fort Knox gold F She used to pour Four Roses like it was going down the chimney Am G# Like the bottle was on fire or the boiler was about to blow F She was up on the table when we hit Missouri Am G# Dancing with a movie man he was holding her a little too close F Am G# La didi da da da da da da da! F He made her the star of the silent movies Am G# But all she did was mouth the words ,Oh no! F And he cast me as the villain as the sheriff¹s worst enemy Am G# I practiced falling off of buildings and out windows La didi da da da da da da da! Piano part: F Am G# F The last time I saw she was tied to the train tracks Am G# I was back there with the extras riding on a tiger roan F The villain on the left with the studio mustache Am G# Winking at Lillian blowing kisses from the second row F Am G# La didi da da da da da da da!
