Shelton)LILAC WINE -- Chord Chart and Tab[Originally posted by Michael Harris, May 20 1996]** "LILAC WINE" CHORD CHART **This is my user-friendly chord map to "LW".  It is not too far from JohnPollock's earlier tab of this, but there are some variations,particularlythe diminished chord and the D7 instead of D.GmI lost myself on a cool damp nightEbGave myself in that misty lightD7                  CmWas hypnotized by a strange delightD7            GmUnder a lilac treeGmI made wine from the lilac treeEbPut my heart in its recipeCm(*)It makes me see what I want to see...D7                    GmAnd be what I want to beGdim                     CWhen I think more than I want to thinkCm                       GmDo things I never should doGdim                     CI drink much more than I ought to drinkCm                       G       D7Because I brings me back you...G      G7G     G7      C         D7             G            G7Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my loveC           Dm G  C         Dm     G       CLilac wine,       I feel unsteady, like my loveEb                            D7Listen to me... I cannot see clearlyD7                          Am7     D7Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?And repeat as necessary.The final progression is just:G   G7           C    D7            G         G7           C    Cm    D7       GI feel unready       for my love...Notes:>The C minor chord marked with the * is actually a bit more involved(complicated?) if you look at the tab, as it has an A in the bass.  Thisactually makes it, I think, an "A minor 7 diminished 5", but don't quoteme!!>Diagrams for the G diminished chord and the Am7dim5 are below:alternatively see the tab.>To get the "muted jazzy feel" John Pollock referred to in his post,without being confined to barre chords (which are difficult and also arenot what I have tabbed out below for the most part), I suggest using thethumb and fingers of the right (picking) hand rather than a plectrum, to"stroke" the strings.ChordsE  |---|---|-4-|---|              |---|---|---|---|B  |---|-2-|---|---|              |---|-1-|---|---|G  |---|---|-3-|---|              |---|---|-4-|---|D  |---|-1-|---|---|              |---|---|-3-|---|A  |---|---|---|---|              |(1)|---|---|---|E  |---|---|---|---|              |---|---|-2-|---|     2   3   4    5                 3   4   5    6       G diminished                       Am7dim5 I think                                 [to make this a Cminor, just play the(1)                                 on                                 the 5th string rather than the 2 on the                                 6th, OK]** "LILAC WINE" COMPLETE TAB **This is actually fairly easy and quite fun to play.  As best I canfigureit, this is what I think is actually played on the "Grace" album.  Atleast, it's pretty darn close...Standard tuning!!  (What a shock!)  I'm just going to tab out theindividual chords, not the rhythm or anything.  Y'all can figure thatoutyourselves. (If you are training your ear, a good exercise is to figureout which chord below goes where in the song.)*IntroductionE--3----------------------------------------|B--3---4---3---4---3---3---4---4---3---3----|G--3---0---5---5---5---3---0---5---5---3----|D--5---5---4---5---4---5---5---5---4---5----|A--5---6---5---3---5---5---6---X---5---5----|E------------------------------5------------|E---4---------------4--------------------|B---3---5---4---3---3---5---4------------|G---4---5---5---3---4---5---5------------|D---3---5---5---5---3---5---5---5---4----|A-------3---3---5-------3---3---5---5----|E----------------------------------------|*"Lilac wine..." bitE---3---3---0---2---3---3---0---1---3---0----|B---0---0---1---1---0---0---1---3---0---1----|G---0---0---0---2---0---0---0---2---0---0----|D---0---0---2---0---0---0---2---0---0---2----|A---2---2---3-------2---2---3-------2---3----|E---3---1---X---X---3---1---X-------3--------|E---1---3---0-----------------------|B---3---0---1---8---3---5---3-------|G---2---0---0---8---5---5---5-------|D---0---0---2---8---4---5---4-------|A-------2---3---6---5---7---5-------|E-------3---------------------------|Now, I'll leave the final progression up to you since it's just avariation on the above, and the chord chart I provided gives theessentialinformation.The one variation through the song that might be worth noting is that onthe second run through, when we get to "sweet and heady", halfwaythroughthe D7 bit, Jeff adds a suspension which should be pretty apparent whenyou hear it (I'm providing the "rhythm" in the tab below):E-----2--2--3--3---|B-----1--1--1--1---|G-----2--2--2--2---|D-----0--0--0--0---|A------------------|E------------------|Happy playing.mhDate: Thu, 15 Jun 1995 13:55:09 +0100From: John IB Pollock, *Subject: Lilac wine CorrectedJeffin concert, August 1994Try and play it with barre chords to give that muted jazzy feelparticularly the G G7 bit.  As it is fairly jazzy I may have simplifedthe harmonies a bit, but try it and see.  As normal I make no claims asto accuracy.GmI lost myself on a cool damp nightEbGave myself in that misty lightCmWas hypnotized by a strange delightDUnder a lilac treeGmI made wine from the lilac treeEbPut my heart in its recipeCmIt makes me see what I want to see...DAnd be what I want to beF#m                    CWhen I think more than I want to thinkCm                        GmDo things I never should doF#m                    CI drink much more that I ought to drinkCm                       DBecause I brings me back you...G G7G     G7   C            D      G            G7Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my loveC          F G C        F         G           CLilac wine,      I feel unsteady, like my loveEbListen to me...
