Verse 1
When first I came to (C major) Louis (G major) ville,
my (C major) fortune there (A minor) to find,
I met a fair young (C major) maiden (G major) there,
her beauty (F major) (E minor) filled (A minor) my mind.
Her rosy cheek, her (C major) ruby (E major) lips,
they (A minor) gave my heart no rest.
The name she bore was Flor (C major) (D major) (D minor) a,
the lily of the (A minor) west.

Verse 2
(A minor)
I courted lovely Flor (C major) (G major) a,
she (C major) promised ne'er (A minor) to go.
But soon a tale was (C major) told to (G major) me that
(F major) filled (E minor) my heart with (A minor) woe.
They said she meets an (C major) other (E major) man
who (A minor) holds my (E minor) love in (A minor) jest.
And yet I trusted (C major) Flor (D major) a, (D minor)
the lily of the (A minor) west.
Verse 3
(A minor)
'Way down in yonder shady (C major) (G major) grove,
a (C major) man of low (D major) de (A minor) gree,
He spoke unto my (C major) Flora (G major) there and
(E minor) kissed her 'neath a (A minor) tree.
The answers that she (C major) gave to (E major) him
like (A minor) arrows (E minor) pierced my (A minor) breast.
I was betrayed by (C major) Flor (D major) (D minor) a,
the lily of the (A minor) west.
Verse 4
(A minor)
I stepped up to my (C major) rival,
(G major) my (C major) dagger in (D major) my (A minor) hand.
I seized him by the (C major) collar an (G major) d
I (F major) ordered (C major) (E minor) him to (A minor) stand.
All in my des (C major) per (E major) ation I
(A minor) stabbed him (E minor) in his breast. (A minor)
I'd killed a man for (C major) Flor (D major) a, (D minor)
the lily of (A minor) the west.
(E minor) (A minor)
Verse 5
And then I had to (C major) stand my (G major) trial,
I (C major) had to make (D major) my (A minor) plea.
They placed me in a (C major) (G major) pris'ner's dock
and (F major) then (C major) com (E minor) menced on (A minor) me.
Although she swore my (C major) life away, (E major)
deprived (A minor) me (E minor) of my (A minor) rest.
Still I love my faithless (C major) Flora,
(D major) (D minor) the lily of the
(A minor)
