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.

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...

And be what I want to be

When I think more than I want to think
Cm Gm
Do things I never should do

I drink much more that I ought to drink

Because I brings me back you...

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?
Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love...
