Nina Simone, Lilac Wine
Verse
[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
Chorus
[F#] [F#7/E] [B/D#] [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
