Ruth Notman - The Life of Lilly

      
 
 CAPO ON #3
 
 C               G            
 Lilly loved her rocking horse
   D                      
 Until she learnt to sing,
     C                 G                  
 And people??d say, ??Your lass, she play,
      D                      
 She??s such a pretty thing??
          C          D       C           
 And she??s all of the time in the world.
 C               G          
 Lilly loved her brother so,
      D                    
 They start to face it all,
 C                G             
 Standing high to touch the sky,
     D                        
 But yet just three feet tall,
          C           D       C         
 And they had all the love in the world.
 
 C                       G                      D   
 She walked from rope to floor through love and war,
     C               G                  D    
 She gave up all she had and still gave more,
     C                  G                 D        
 Her stars and there??s a light and burning bright,
          C       
 But then tonight,
 Am         D     C     
 I??m feeling older now.

 Lilly she??d look over land
      D                       
 She??d like to make her home,
     C               G            
 It??s there she had a loving man,
    D              
 Never to be alone,
         C           D           C     
 And she had all the love in the world,
     C              G            
 And Lilly??s so much older then,
      D                    
 With nothing left to fear,
   C               G            
 Until one day she dared to say,
 D                     
 ??Listen all you near,
       C            D           C      
 For I have all the time in the world??
 
 C                       G                      D   
 She walked from rope to floor through love and war,
     C               G                  D    
 She gave up all she had and still gave more,
     C                  G                 D        
 Her stars and there??s a light and burning bright,
          C       
 But then tonight,
 Am         D     C     
 I??m feeling older now.
 
 C             G          
 Lilly she her baby rocked
    D                 
 So silently to sleep,
 C             G         
 Carefully she laid alone
     D                     
 And dared to slumber deep,
         C            D           C     
 And she held all the love in the world,
 C               D            C       
 But Lilly wasn??t long for the world.
