[Intro]
 
D G (x4)
 
[Verse 1]
 
D                  G               D                       G
  Like every young man, I had some things that I wanted to say
D               G                 D               G
  Ere I could begin, you know the world got in my way
 
[Chorus]
 
       A            G
Oh-o-o-oh Lilah, to sleep like a baby
   D
To open the window and feel the fair wind
A            G                  D    G D G
Oh Lilah, to sleep like a baby again
 
[Verse 2]
 
D                  G                D                       G
  We spend so much time weeping and wailing and shaking our fists
D           G           D             G
  Creating enemies that really don't exist
 
[Chorus]
 
       A            G
Oh-o-o-oh Lilah, to sleep like a baby
   D
To open the window and feel the fair wind
A            G                  D
Oh Lilah, to sleep like a baby again
 
[Bridge]
 
          Em                      D
All these comings and goings that cut like a knife
      Em                           D
These small, simple pleasures that make up a life
  Em                      D
A man needs a home, and a child, and a wife
   A                G
To always be there, always
 
[Instrumental]
 
D G D G
 
[Verse 3]
 
D           G                    D                         G
  After I'm gone, there are some things that I know I will miss
D                   G                       D               G
  The taste of your mouth; the smell of the perfume on your wrist
 
[Chorus]
 
       A              G
Oh-o-o-oh, Lilah, the fields lie fallow
   D
Whate'r ye sow, so shall ye reap
A             G
Oh Lilah, the river's still shallow
        D
But the river bed is dark and deep
A              G
Oh, Lilah, the fields lie fallow
   D
Whate'r ye sow, so shall ye reap
A              G
Oh Lilah, this ground we hallow
   D                 G
Is ours to tend, but not to keep
 
[Intrumental]
 
D G (x4)
 
[Outro]
 
D               G
Too-rah loo-rah loo-rah Lilah
D               G
Too-rah loo-rah loo-rah lay
D                  G
Now, while all the streets are silent
D                G
Take my hand and come away
D               G
Too-rah loo-rah loo-rah Lilah
D               G
Too-rah loo-rah loo-rah lay
D               G
Too-rah loo-rah loo-rah Lilah
D
Too-rah loo-rah loo-rah lay
