The Lilac Bush chords by Wylie & The Wild West
Verse 1
D
A
I'm going back to where I come from
D
Where the mockingbirds
A
D
are singing in the lilac bush
A
I used to think my life was humdrum
D
A
But I've sure learned a lesson
D
that is bound to stick
I used to go down to
A
the station every night
D
A
D
just to hear them Pullman trains
come rollin' in
But then one night, that great temptation
A
got the best of me
D
and led me to a lie of sin
G
D
I took my hat and fourteen dollars,
E
well I went to all the trouble
D
in this world
that hoppin' fodders
when you're rich
A
and huntin' romance.
D
Well, my huntin' days are over,
A
D
I can tell you that.
A
I'm goin' back to where I come from,
where the mockin' birds
D
are singin' in the lilac bush.
A
I met a man in Kansas City.
Well, he winked at me
D
and asked me if I'd like to step around,
A
D
And then I said, yep,
A
that's what I'm here for.
So he said he'd take me
D
to the hottest spots in town.
He mentioned thing
G
D
s he'd have to fix up.
E
Well, he took my 14,
D
but there must have been a mix -up.
He's been gone since Thursday evening.
A
D
And I got a hunch
A
D
I'll never see that guy again.
A
I'm goin' back to where I come from
Where the mockingbirds
D
are singin' in the lilac bush
A
When I grow old and have a grandson
D
Well, I'll tell him of my romance
A
D
and I'll watch his eyes bug out
A
D
A
But chances are he won't believe me
D
And he'll do the same darn thing
A
D
when he grows up, no doubt
G
D
But he can't say, I didn't warn him
E
What will he do
when he meets up
A
with them city guys called Durham?
D
A
He'll go back to where he comes from
D
Where the mockingbirds are
A
D
singing in the lilac bush
Hey!
