Lilac Wine

Tylerdurden · 08-03-2004, 12:11 PM

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

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

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it this an Elkie Brooks song?

It's by James Shelton. One of Nina Simone's torch songs.
