Gm
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Eb
Gave myself in that misty light
D7                    Cm
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
D7             Gm
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…
D7                    Gm
And be what I want to be
Gdim                          C    
When I think more than I want to think
Cm                           Gm
Do things much I never should DO
Gdim                      C
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Cm                         D7
Because it brings me back you...
G      G7

G     G7      C         D7             G            G7
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
C          Dm G  C         Dm     G       C
Lilac wine,        I feel unsteady, like my love
Eb  
Listen to me…
D7
I cannot see clearly
D7                          Am7     D7
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
G   G7           C    D7            G         G7
   Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where's my love?
C          Dm G  C         Dm     G       
Lilac wine,       I feel unsteady,
C
  where's my love?
Eb                                 D7
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
D7                                   Am7     D7
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
G   G7           C    D7            G         G7
   Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where's my love?
     C        D7        G       
I feel unready for my love...
