Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (F sharp minor) (E minor) (A major) Lily (D major) of the (A major) valley,
lily of the valley,
(D major) lily of the (G major) valley.
(D major) They (G major) called (A major) her lily (D major) of the (A major) valley
and she (G major) lived beside the river.
(D major) The (G major) youngest of her (D major) sisters
and the pret (G major) tiest (A major) of them all
She was (D major) courted by the (A major) men in town,
(G major) she could have married (D major) anyone
The (G major) one she made her (D major) husband
was the (G major) handsomest of (D major) all
(G major) They were (D major) married in a (A major) chapel,
Lily (G major) bore him seven chil (D major) dren
And (G major) every night he (D major) put her down
(G major) and made her feel (A major) ashamed
He (D major) took the face (A major) she used to wear
(G major) and put a look of (D major) sorrow there
The (G major) more he made her (D major) suffer,
the (G major) more she fell to (D major) blame
No (E minor) more tears, (A major) Lily,
don't (B minor) cry anymore
Tears (E minor) of yours won't (G major)
fall another (A major) time
Don't (E minor) cry, (A major) Lily,
we (B minor) know how you've tried
Fight (E minor) ing for your life was not a (A major) crime
One (D major) night Lily turned (A major) to him
before he (G major) raised his (D major) hand to her
One (G major) more time, she (D major) said,
and not again (G major) (A major)
He (D major) laughed and threw (A major) an other punch
The (G major) blow knocked Liddy to (D major) the floor
Some (G major) how she grabbed the (D major) kitchen knife
And (G major) stabbed her husband (D major) dead (A major)
The (D major) jury, they decided (A major) it was murder
(G major) In the (D major) first degree they (G major) said
she had pro (D major) voked him
with her (G major) wild and wicked (A major) talk
They (D major) hanged her by the (A major) river
where so (G major) many times she (D major) wandered
They (G major) left her children (D major) motherless
in sorrow (G major) and (D major) in shock
No (E minor) more tears,
(A major) Don't (B minor) cry anymore
Tears (E minor) of yours won't
(G major) fall another (A major) time
Don't (E minor) cry, (A major) Lily,
we (B minor) know how you've tried
Fight (E minor) ing for your life was not a (A major) crime
A (B minor) soldier in a (F sharp minor) uniform
is (B minor) meant to kill the (F sharp minor) enemy
But (B minor) Lily in her (F sharp minor) own defense
was (G major) framed to take (A major) the fall
Her (B minor) children watched their (F sharp minor) father
beat their (B minor) mother all too of (F sharp minor) ten
The bat (B minor) tlefields of famil (F sharp minor) ies
are (G major) the saddest of (A major) them all
The willow (D major) weeps for (A major) Lily
as its (G major) branches touch the (D major) water
The (G major) wind is crying, (D major) Lily,
as it sigh (A major) s along the shore.
The (D major) river's singing, (A major) Lily,
we all (G major) know that you are (D major) innocent.
(G major) You were promised (D major) marriage,
but you had to (G major) fight a (D major) war.
(E minor) No more tears, (A major) Lily,
don't (B minor) cry anymore.
Tears (E minor) of yours won't
fall (G major) another time (A major)
Don't (E minor) cry,
(A major) we (B minor) know how you tried
Fight (E minor) ing for your life (G major) was not a (A major) crime
Lily (D major) of the (A major) valley, Lily (G major) of (A major) the valley
Lady (D major) of the (G major) Valley
