F
I remember back in Illinois I found her
Am C
The lily of the valley the lily of the West was a rose
F
The daughter of the biggest big town banker
Am C
He kept her like a princess I stole her like the Fort Knox gold
F
She used to pour Four Roses like it was going down the chimney
Am C
Like the bottle was on fire or the boiler was about to blow
F
She was up on the table when we hit Missouri
Am C
Dancing with a movie man he was holding her a little too close
F Am C
La didi da da da da da da da!
F
He made her the star of the silent movies
Am C
But all she did was mouth the words ,Oh no!
F
And he cast me as the villain as the sheriff�s worst enemy
Am C
I practiced falling off of buildings and out windows
La didi da da da da da da da!
Piano part: F Am C
F
The last time I saw she was tied to the train tracks
Am C
I was back there with the extras riding on a tiger roan
F
The villain on the left with the studio mustache
Am C
Winking at Lillian blowing kisses from the second row
F Am C
La didi da da da da da da da!
