[Couplet 1]
EmLily, fûtes-vous une Ambarmaid poétique
Em/GDans un vieux bar de l'Est, Ambleu de Dfumée,
EmOù l'ivrognerie était douce Amet romantique
Où des Em/Gloups de mer et des gamins Ampâles vous Daimaient?
EmDignement tendre avec tAmous, étiez-vous plus tendre
Em/GPour un craintif Jack ou AmJim aux yeux supDpliants
EmQui vous rêva fée des Ambois roses de novembre
Em/GOu des lacs de lunaire oAmpale miroitDante
EmEt mourut de vous et Amvous fit mourir
Em/GHaineux de la vraie femme pour Amtous eniDvrante
[Refrain 1]
EmAnd the Bmoon shines Embright On the Amgrave
of Empoor Lily DDale, Oh GLily! Sweet BLily
Em D G Am Em D G Am
[Couplet 2]
EmSous les sombres pacaAmniers qui se mirent
Em/GDans l'eau vitreuse des baAmyous chargés Dde huttes
EmLily, étiez-vous la nAmégrillonne du Sud,
D'un Em/Gnoir luisant, presque Amdoré de tanDt reluire
EmSoleil noir avec un soleil Amblanc pour sourire?
Em/Gvous la petite proie traAmquée, foDrcée
EmPar de vieux chausseurs Amblancs obscènes et velus
Em/GL'animal favori Amcajolé, puis baDttu
EmL'excitante poupée Ambientôt brisée
Em/GQu'on enfouit un soir, pauvre Amchose fluDette
EmPrès d'un marais de jade où chanAmtaient les rainettes
Em/GSous la lune qui AmgrimaçaitD  
[Refrain 2]
EmAnd the Bmoon shines Embright On the Amgrave
of Empoor Lily DDale, Oh GLily! Sweet BLily
[Couplet 3]
EmN'auriez-vous été, ô LiAmly, ombre plaintive,
Em/GQu'un sujet de chromo AminsaneD  
EmL'atroce "fiancée" consAmomptive et poncive
Em/GDu "contrebandier" ou du "jeunAme clergymaDn"
EmNon, l'air qui vous Ampleure
est Em/Gtrop sauvaAmgement Dtriste
EmTrop sincèrement naïAmves sont les paEm/GrolesAm  D  
EmEt que votre joue fût Amnoire, florale ou bise,
Pour Em/Gmoi vous aurez été Amâcrement eDxquise
EmEt je sens que votre âme, Amdans les brises molles
S'enEm/Gvola quand vous mourûtes, Amcomme s'enDvole
EmL'encens de l'iAmris des prairies
Em/Gvers les éAmtoilesD  
EmL'encens de l'iAmris des prairies
Em/Gvers les éAmtoilesD  
[Refrain 3]
EmAnd the Bmoon shines Embright On the Amgrave
of Empoor Lily DDale, Oh GLily! Sweet BLily
EmAnd the Bmoon shines Embright On the Amgrave
of Empoor Lily DDale, Oh GLily! Sweet BLily
