E B Again tonight I sang a song, C#m E a prayer if you will E B Fell to the floor on blackened knees, C#m E and all the trees fell still E B Pressed my hands between my thighs, C#m E and poured the thistle milk E B Begged the thunderbolts to strike C#m E and mark me as alive E B Oh the lilies on the hill E B Oh the lilies on the hill E B Oh the lilies on the hill C#m E Scented the night E B And so I finished up my prayer, C#m E rose slowly and I stared E B But I was empty as a grave C#m B and ghostless was the air E B Lay back to bed and dulled my eyes C#m G#m and searched those fruitless skies E B Again begged the thunderbolt to strike E C#m to mark me or else I would die E B Oh the lilies on the hill E B Oh the lilies on the hill E B Oh the lilies on the hill C#m E Scented the night E B And in the second before I sleep E B And in the second before I sleep E B Did I believe what I did see? C#m G#m Did I believe what came to me? E B Appeared a figure of a man, C#m G#m waving upon the hill E B To the window I ran C#m G#m and saw what he had sent E B Children of a private world, C#m E to be conceived in milk E B A hundred marching to my door C#m E All bringing dreams to drink E Thank God I'm alive! E Thank God I'm alive! E B Oh the lilies on the hill C#m G#m Oh the lilies on the hill E B Oh the lilies on the hill C#m E Scented the night E - B - C#m - B (in the 7th fret, i know it should sound the same but it gives it something different) E-B-E
