THE LILY OF THE VALLEY
(Freddie Mercury/Queen. From the classic albumn _Sheer Heart
Attack_.)
There`s a small timing change - to 2/4? - at the end of the
chorus. Just play along with the recording and you`ll get it
easily enough. Chords repeated in parentheses are just there to
guide the rhythm a bit.
C G7 Am (add g bass)
I am forever searching high and low
Am Dm
But why does every body tell me no?
(Dm) G C Dm7 G
Neptune of the seas, an answer for me please
C Dm7 G Am Dm Am Dm
The lily of the valley doesn`t know
(Dm) A7/C#m C#dim Dm
I lie in wait with open eyes
(Dm) C7 F
I carry on through stormy skies
(F) C C7 C
I follow every course, my kingdom for a horse
F C/E Dm C G
But each time I grow old
C Dm7 G C Dm7 G
Serpent of the Nile, relieve me for a while
C F G Am7 G C
cast me from your spell and let me go
Messenger from seven seas has flown
To tell the king of Rhye he`s lost his throne
Wars will never cease, is there time enough for peace?
The lily of the valley doesn`t know
Extro: Am G|C
(beats) / / / / / (hold)
Strange chords:
Dm7 = xx0211
C#dim = xx1212
A7/C# = x42020
Am7 = x02213
C/E = xx2010
Also, I prefer playing C and G as 332010 and 320033 respectively,
but I don`t know that it matters much.
