Lily of the Valley Lyrics

#
#THE LILY OF THE VALLEY
#(Freddie Mercury/Queen. From the classic albumn _Sheer Heart
#Attack_.)
#
#
#There's a small timing change - to 2/4? - at the end of the
#chorus. Just play along with the recording and you'll get it
#easily enough. Chords repeated in parentheses are just there to
#guide the rhythm a bit.
#
#
# C G7 Am (add g bass)
#I am forever searching high and low
But why does every body tell me no?
Neptune of the seas, an answer for me please
The lily of the valley doesn't know
m
I lie in wait with open eyes
I carry on through stormy skies
I follow every course, my kingdom for a horse
But each time I grow old
Serpent of the Nile, relieve me for a while
cast me from your spell and let me go
Messenger from seven seas has flown
To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne
Wars will never cease, is there time enough for peace?
The lily of the valley doesn't know
Extro: Am G|C
(beats) / / / / / (hold)
Strange chords:
Also, I prefer playing C and G as 332010 and 320033 respectively,
but I don't know that it matters much.
