Lillian, Egypt

Josh Ritter

 F
 I remember back in Illinois I found her
 Am7Dm
 The lily of the valley the lily of the West was a rose
 F
 The daughter of the biggest big town banker
 Am7Gm
 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
 Am7Dm
 Like the bottle was on fire or the boiler was about to blow
 F
 She was up on the table when we hit Missouri
 Am7Gm
 Dancing with a movie man he was holding her a little too close

 Dm7Am7Gm
 La didi da da da da da da da!
*Riff*

 F
 He made her the star of the silent movies
 Am7Dm
 But all she did was mouth the words all she did was mouth the words, "Oh no!"
 F
 And he cast me as the villain as the sheriff's worst enemy
 Am7Gm
 I practiced falling off of buildings and out windows

 Dm7Am7Gm
 La didi da da da da da da da!
*Riff*

 F
 The last time I saw she was tied to the train tracks
 Am7Dm
 I was back there with the extras riding on a tiger roan
 F
 The villain on the left with the studio mustache
 Am7Gm
 Winking at Lillian blowing kisses from the second row

 Dm7Am7Gm
 La didi da da da da da da da!
*Riff*
