Gm
I lost myself on a cool damp night
D#
Gave myself in that misty light
     D7               Am7-5
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
D7            Gm
Under a lilac tree
Gm
I made wine from the lilac tree
D#
Put my heart in its recipe
    Am7-5
It makes me see what I want to see...
    D7                Gm
And be what I want to be
Fdim                      C
When I think more than I want to think
Cm                       Gm
Do things I never should do
   Fdim                   C
I drink much more than I ought to drink
   Cm                      Gm  D7
Because it brings me back you.

Chorus:
G       G       C        D7     G            G 
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
 C        Dm G   C       Dm   G          C 
Lilac wine    I feel unsteady, like my love
D#                          D7
Listen to me I cannot see clearly
                             Am7    D7
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?

 G     G7  C     D7          G         G7
Lilac wine, I feel unready, for my love
          C   Cm  D7     G
I feel unready   for my love.
