Lillian Egypt by Josh Ritter
Lillian Egypt
Capo:no capo
F
I remember back in Illinois I found her
Am G#
The lily of the valley the lily of the West was a rose
F
The daughter of the biggest big town banker
Am G#
He kept her like a princess I stole her like the Fort Knox gold
F
She used to pour Four Roses like it was going down the chimney
Am G#
Like the bottle was on fire or the boiler was about to blow
F
She was up on the table when we hit Missouri
Am G#
Dancing with a movie man he was holding her a little too close
F Am G#
La didi da da da da da da da!
F
He made her the star of the silent movies
Am G#
But all she did was mouth the words ,Oh no!
F
And he cast me as the villain as the sheriff¹s worst enemy
Am G#
I practiced falling off of buildings and out windows
La didi da da da da da da da!
Piano part: F Am G#
F
The last time I saw she was tied to the train tracks
Am G#
I was back there with the extras riding on a tiger roan
F
The villain on the left with the studio mustache
Am G#
Winking at Lillian blowing kisses from the second row
F Am G#
La didi da da da da da da da!
