F#m
I lost myself on a cool damp night
D
Gave myself in that misty light
C#                  Bm
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
C#7           F#m
Under a lilac tree
                                D
I made wine from the lilac tree
                           Bdim
Put my heart in its recipe
                                   C#7
It makes me see what I want to see
                         F#m       F#9
And be what I want to be
                         B              Bm
When I think more than I want to think
                             F#m        F#9
Do things I never should do
                         B
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Bm                          C#sus4     C#
Because it brings me back you

[Chorus]

F#        F#7       B        C#sus4 C#   F#   F#7   B
   Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
      F#sus4 F# B    F#sus4 F#        B        B7 D
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
                           C#
Listen to me, I cannot see clearly
                           G#m7    C#      F#
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
      F#7     B       C#sus4 C#           F#      B
Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?
    F#sus4 F# B      F#sus4 F#7         B          D
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
                                   C#
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
                                 G#m7     C#sus4 C#   F#
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
      F#7     B     C#sus4 C#     F#
Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love
F#7    B   Bm   C#   F#
Feel unready for my love
