Lillian, Egypt Josh Ritter
[F]I remember back in Illinois I found her
[Am7]The lily of the valley the lily of the West was a [Dm]rose
[F]The daughter of the biggest big town banker
[Am7]He kept her like a princess I stole her like the Fort Knox [Gm]gold
[F]She used to pour Four Roses like it was going down the chimney
[Am7]Like the bottle was on fire or the boiler was about to [Dm]blow
[F]She was up on the table when we hit Missouri
[Am7]Dancing with a movie man he was holding her a little too [Gm]close
[Dm7]La didi da da [Am7]da da da da [Gm]da!
*Riff*
[F]He made her the star of the silent movies
[Am7]But all she did was mouth the words all she did was mouth the words, "Oh [Dm]no!"
[F]And he cast me as the villain as the sheriff's worst enemy
[Am7]I practiced falling off of buildings and out wind[Gm]ows
[Dm7]La didi da da [Am7]da da da da [Gm]da!
*Riff*
[F]The last time I saw she was tied to the train tracks
[Am7]I was back there with the extras riding on a tiger [Dm]roan
[F]The villain on the left with the studio mustache
[Am7]Winking at Lillian blowing kisses from the second [Gm]row
[Dm7]La didi da da [Am7]da da da da [Gm]da!
*Riff*
