******************************************************* Jeff Buckley - Lilac Wine (Track 04 - 'Grace' album) ******************************************************* This is virtually the same as most other Lilac Wine tabs I've seen on the net, except I it to make it easier to play so you can focus more on the incredible vocals! I made it by just putting a capo on the 3rd fret, which makes all the chords easier to play. you're going to miss some of the little complexities that Jeff Buckley adds to the but this is an OK version I hope will be of use to people! Please don't flame me, I know it's not the perfect version, that's the point! Capo - 3rd fret Em I lost myself on a cool damp night C Gave myself in that misty light B7 Am Was hypnotized by a strange delight B7 Em Under a lilac tree Em I made wine from the lilac tree C Put my heart in its recipe Am It makes me see what I want to see... B7 Em And be what I want to be Em7 A When I think more than I want to think Am Em Do things I never should do Em7 A I drink much more than I ought to drink Am E B7 Because I brings me back you... E E7 E E7 A B7 E E7 Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love A Bm E A Bm E A Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love C B7 Listen to me... I cannot see clearly B7 F#m7 B7 Isn't that she coming to me nearly here? E E7 A B7 E E7 Lilac wine is sweet and heady, wheres my love? A Bm E A Bm E A Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, wheres my love? C B7 Listen to me, why is everything so hazy? B7 F#m7 B7 Isnt that she, or am I just going crazy, dear? E E7 A B7 E E7 Lilac wine, I feel unready, for my love A Am B7 E I feel unready for my love...
About the artist behind Lilac Wine Chords:
Over the following two years, the band toured widely to promote the album, including concerts in the U.S., Europe, Japan and Australia. In 1997, he stopped touring and moved to Memphis, Tennessee, to experiment with new material for a second album. During his time there, he recorded many four-track demos and completed his third recording session for his new album with his band, with Tom Verlaine as producer. While awaiting the arrival of his band from New York, he drowned during an evening swim in the Wolf River. His body was found on June 4, 1997.[2]
Since his death, there have been many posthumous releases of his material, including a collection of four-track demos and studio recordings for his unfinished second album My Sweetheart the Drunk and expansions of debut album Grace and his Live at Sin-é EP. Buckley's first #1 came posthumously in March 2008 when "Hallelujah" topped Billboard's Hot Digital Songs following a performance of the song on American Idol. Buckley and his work continue to remain popular and regularly featured in 'greatest' lists in the music press.[3][4]
