# #THE LILY OF THE VALLEY #(Freddie Mercury/Queen. From the classic albumn _Sheer Heart #Attack_.) # # #There's a small timing change - to 2/4? - at the end of the #chorus. Just play along with the recording and you'll get it #easily enough. Chords repeated in parentheses are just there to #guide the rhythm a bit. # # # C G7 Am (add g bass) #I am forever searching high and low Am Dm But why does every body tell me no? Dm G C Dm7 G Neptune of the seas, an answer for me please C Dm7 G Am Dm The lily of the valley doesn't know Dm A7/C#m C#dim Dm I lie in wait with open eyes Dm C7 F I carry on through stormy skies F C C7 C I follow every course, my kingdom for a horse F C/E Dm C G But each time I grow old C Dm7 G C Dm7 G Serpent of the Nile, relieve me for a while C F G Am7 C cast me from your spell and let me go Messenger from seven seas has flown To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne Wars will never cease, is there time enough for peace? The lily of the valley doesn't know Extro: Am G|C (beats) / / / / / (hold) Strange chords: Dm7 = xx0211 C#dim = xx1212 A7/C# = x42020 Am7 = x02213 C/E = xx2010 Also, I prefer playing C and G as 332010 and 320033 respectively, but I don't know that it matters much. submitted by: Ted Hermary czth@musica.mcgill.ca
