CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
C  G  C  G
CLily of the GValley
CLily of the GValley
CLily of the FVallCeyG  
[Verse 1]
They called her CLily of the GValley and she Flived beside the Criver
The Fyoungest of her Csisters and the Fprettiest of them Gall
She was Ccourted by the Gmen in town, Fshe could have married Canyone
The Fone she made her Chusband was the handsomest of allG  
[Verse 2]
They were Cmarried in a Gchapel, Lily Fbore him seven Cchildren
And Fevery night he Cput her down and Fmade her feel aGshamed
He Ctook the face she Gused to wear and Fput a look of Csorrow there
The Fmore he made her Csuffer, the more she felt to blame
[Chorus]
FNo more tears GLily, don't Amcry anymore
Dm7Tears of yours won't Ffall another Gtime
FDon't cry GLilly, we Amknow how you've tried
Dm7Fighting for your Flife was not a Gcrime
[Verse 3]
COne night Lily Gturned to him, beFfore he raised his Chand to her
FOne more time she Csaid, "And not aFgain"G  
He Claughed and threw aGnother punch, the Fblow knocked Lily Cto the floor
SomeFhow she grabbed the Ckitchen knife and stabbed her husband deadG  
[Verse 4]
The Cjury they deGcided it was Fmurder in the Cfirst degree
They Fsaid she had proCvoked him with her Fwild and wicked Gtalk
They Changed her by the Griver where so Fmany times she Cwandered
They Fleft her children Cmotherless, in sorrow and in shock
[Chorus]
FNo more tears GLily, don't Amcry anymore
Dm7Tears of yours won't Ffall another Gtime
FDon't cry GLilly, we Amknow how you've tried
Dm7Fighting for your Flife was not a Gcrime
[Bridge]
A Amsoldier in a Emuniform is Ammeant to kill the Emenemy
But AmLilly, in her own deEmfence, was Fframed to take the Gfall
Her Amchildren watched their Emfather beat their Ammother all too Emoften
The Ambattlefields of Emfamilies are the Fsaddest of them Gall
[Verse 5]
The Cwillow weeps for GLily as its Fbranches touch the Cwater
The Fwind is crying, "CLily", as it Fsighs along the Gshore
The Criver's singing, "GLily, we all Fknow that you are Cinnocent
FYou were promised Cmarriage, but you had to fight a war"
[Chorus]
FNo more tears GLily, don't Amcry anymore
Dm7Tears of yours won't Ffall another Gtime
FDon't cry GLilly, we Amknow how you tried
Dm7Fighting for your Flife was not a Gcrime
[Outro]
CLily of the GValley
CLily of the GValley
CLily of the FVallCey
