Em
I lost myself on a cool damp night
C
Gave myself in that misty light
D7                  Am
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
D7            Em
Under a lilac tree
Em
I made wine from the lilac tree
C
Put my heart in its recipe
Am
It makes me see what I want to see...
D7                    Em
And be what I want to be
Em7                       A
When I think more than I want to think
Am                        Em
Do things I never should do
Em7                      A
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Am                        E       
Because I brings me back you...

E  Em7


[Chorus]

E       E7      A        D7             E            E7
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
A     Bm    E  A         E        A       E
Lilac wine,    I feel unsteady, like my love
C                            D7
Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
D7                          Am7      D7
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?

E  Em7

E       E7      A        D7                E            E7
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where's my love
A       Bm  E  A         E        A         E
Lilac wine,    I feel unready, where's my love
C                                   D7
Listen to me... Why's everything so hazy 
D7                                  Am7      D7
Isn't that she or am I just going crazy dear?

E  Em7

E       E7      A        D7                E            E7
Lilac Wine, is sweet and heady, where's my love
           A     Am     D7       E
I feel unready       for my love...
