Lilac Wine Tab

by Jeff Buckley


*******************************************************
Jeff Buckley - Lilac Wine (Track 04 - 'Grace' album)
*******************************************************
This is virtually the same as most other Lilac Wine tabs I've seen on the net, except I
it to make it easier to play so you can focus more on the incredible vocals!  I made it
by just putting a capo on the 3rd fret, which makes all the chords easier to play.  
you're going to miss some of the little complexities that Jeff Buckley adds to the
but this is an OK version I hope will be of use to people!
Please don't flame me, I know it's not the perfect version, that's the point!

Capo - 3rd fret


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 than I ought to drink
                              
Because I 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, wheres my love?
                      
   
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, wheres my love?
                                  
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
                                   
Isnt that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?

                            
Lilac wine, I feel unready, for my love
                          
I feel unready       for my love...
