Tom: F
F Bb C Bb F
[Chorus]
F
Lily, my darling
Bb
Lily, my dear
C
For what awful reason
Bb F
Have you come down here?
F Bb
Is it for money? Is it for pride?
C Bb F
Or just for the joy of watching me cry?
[Verse]
F
I've gambled in Texas
Bb
Been all around
C
Stood on the corner
Bb F
Not a word in my mouth
F
Seen lots of people
Bb
Come rolling by
C
Throw me a dollar
Bb F
I could sure use me five
[Chorus]
F
Lily, my darling
Bb
Lily, my dear
C
For what awful reason
F
Have you come down here?
F Bb
Is it for money? Is it for pride?
C Bb F
Or just for the joy of watching me cry?
[Instrumental]
F Bb C Bb F
[Verse]
F
I've got no possessions
Bb
The money I've saved
C
All that I'm asking
Bb F
Is for dirt on my grave
F
So, honey, if you love me
Bb
Just let me be
C
Lord, in this life
Bb F
I can't get no relief
[Chorus]
F
Lily, my darling
Bb
Lily, my dear
C
For what awful reason
Bb F
Have you come down here?
F Bb
Is it for money? Is it for pride?
C Bb F
Or just for the joy of watching me cry?
[Instrumental]
F Bb C Bb F
[Verse]
F
No peace for the guilty
Bb
No rest for the sinning
C
When I get out
Bb F
I'll finally be winning
F
If the good times don't kill me
Bb
The devil, he will
C Bb F
Lay me to rest on Mockingbird Hill
[Outro]
F
Lily, my darling
Bb
Lily, my dear
C
For what awful reason
Bb F
Have you come down here?
F Bb
Is it for money? Is it for pride?
C Bb F
Or just for the joy of watching me die?
