TITLE: Pictures of Lily
Lyrics and Chords


I used to wake up in the morning
I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights
I went and told my dad

/ C Em Am - / G - - - / C Em Am - / G - - - /

He said, son now here's some little something
And stuck them on my wall
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely
In fact I, I don't feel bad at all
I don't feel bad at all

/ Am G F E / Am - G - / C Em Am - / G - - - / G7 - - - /

Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
Pictures of Lily solved my childhood problems
Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright

/ C - Am G F C F G / C Em Am G F Em D E - - - / 
   / A - F#m - D C#m B E / A - F#m A D - E - /

Pictures of Lily
Lily, oh Lily
Lily, oh Lily
Pictures of Lily

/ E DE E - / / A GA A - / / C D C D C D C D /

And then one day things weren't quite so fine
I fell in love with Lily
I asked my dad where Lily I could find
He said, son, now don't be so silly

She's been dead since 1929
Oh, how I cried that night
If only I'd been born in Lily's time
It would have been alright

Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night

/ C - Am G F C F G / C Em Am G F Em D E - - - / 

For me and Lily are together in my dreams
And I ask you, hey mister, have you seen - pictures of Lily?

/ A C#m F#m A D A B E / A C#m F#m A D - E DE /
