[Chorus]
C
Green grow the lilacs, all sparkling with dew
C G
Green grow the lilacs, and green is their hue
C F
Each lilac of green turns to one that is blue
C G C
Love, like the lilacs, can change colors too
[Verse]
C
I used to have a young love as soft as the snow
C G
In springtime and summer together we'd go
C F
It's sad to the heart when your love is untrue
C G C
Like the green lilacs when they turn into blue
[Chorus]
C
Green grow the lilacs, all sparkling with dew
C G
Green grow the lilacs, and green is their hue
C F
Each lilac of green turns to one that is blue
C G C
Love, like the lilacs, can change colors too
[Verse]
C
I passed my love's window both early and late
C G
The look that she gives me would make your heart ache
C F
The look that she gives me was painful to see
C G C
My love loves another much better than me
[Chorus]
C
Green grow the lilacs, all sparkling with dew
C G
Green grow the lilacs, and green is their hue
C F
Each lilac of green turns to one that is blue
C G C
Love, like the lilacs, can change colors too
[Outro]
C G C
Love, like the lilacs, can change colors too
