Lily Maid

C

{Verse 1}
    C                         
Good sir, I now present myself 
  F
before you
     C                F            
With velvet robes and lilies in my 
G
hair
   C                             
My ladies do their best with what 
         F
they're given,
      C              F            
And I only pray that you will find
    G
 me fair
  Am              G           
I ask you leave a penny for the 
  F
bargeman,
    C              F              
And one in penance for the hearts 
    G
you break
    Am                         
And keep these words forever as 
 F
reminder
        C             Dm          
Of what sends a dying lily to the 
G
lake.

{Verse 2}
     C                          
Dear Lancelot, my sorrow clad in 
 F
silver,
    C                 F         
You see my thoughts return to you 
   G
again
    C                        
You came to me as others come 
   F
a'courting,
    C               F            G
But nothing is with you as other men
  Am              G           
I ask you leave a penny for the 
  F
sermon,
     C              F             
And another for the errors that 
  G
you make
    Am                         
And keep these words forever as 
  F
reminder
        C             Dm          
Of what sends a dying lily to the 
G
lake

{Verse 3}
     D                          
With trembling hands I held your 
       G
life inside you
    D                   G         
But failed to earn your favour for
    A
 my own
     D                    
Your coppers were an empty 
       G
consolation
       D                G         
For my needs are met by you, and 
     A
you alone
  Bm                           
I ask you leave a penny for the 
 G
water,
     D              G             
And another for the liberties you 
A
take
    Bm                         
And keep these words forever as 
  G
reminder
        D             Em          
Of what sends a dying lily to the 
A
lake

       Bm                    F#m  
Please keep these words, my love, 
       G
as a reminder...
