Lilac Wine

[Tylerdurden]

Anyone here play Jeff Buckley's cover of amazingly beautiful Lilac Wine?? I found some tabs and chords but Im not sure are they correct, the people who submitted seem sure that they are fairly close, it starts off Gm , then Eb , it just doesnt sound right though, so Im sure someone here plays this tune and has some decent suggestions for the playing of this fantastic song, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions, cheers

[Jgrg1984]

i have a dvd of one of jeff's live shows in chicago, i could watch it and then look at some tabs to see how close they are and such

[cheese]

I've watched the dvd and I found a tab on a Jeff Buckley tab site and it seems to be pretty accurate. Here it is anyway...


Gm
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Eb
Gave myself in that misty light
D7&nbs p; Cm
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
D7&nbs p; Gm
Under a lilac tree
Gm
I made wine from the lilac tree
Eb
Put my heart in its recipe
Cm(*)
It makes me see what I want to see...
D7&nbs p; Gm
And be what I want to be
Gdim&n bsp;&n bsp; C
When I think more than I want to think
Cm&nbs p;&nbs p; Gm
Do things I never should do
Gdim&n bsp;&n bsp; C
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Cm&nbs p;&nbs p; G D7
Because I brings me back you...


G G7


G G7 C D7&nbs p; G&nbsp ; G7
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
C&nbsp ; Dm G C Dm G C
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Eb&nbs p;&nbs p; D7
Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
D7&nbs p; Am7 D7
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?


And repeat as necessary.


The final progression is just:


G G7&nbs p; C D7&nbs p; G G7
Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love
C Cm D7 G
I feel unready for my love...


OOOORRRR...if you just want to tabbed chords
