John Hiatt - All the lilacs in ohio

Well, you ^Gmet her ^Dthere on a ^CNew York City ^Emstair You were ^Gthrowing ^Dup on your ^Amshoes Tryin' to ^Gwrite the great ^Dbook when it ^Creally had you ^Emshook With a ^Gbad case of ^Dwintertime ^Amblues

So you ^Gdrag her ^Ddown to the ^Cragged side of ^Emtown She had a ^Gtaxi to ^Dcarry her ^Amhome Then she ^Gleft her handker^Dchief there ^Cbeside you on the ^Emseat As if to ^Gemphasize that ^Dyou were all ^Amalone

It smelled ^Amlike springtime and you were just ^Da boy

And all the ^Glilacs in ^COhi^Do All the ^Glilacs in ^COhi^Do, there you^Em go In the ^Gcity streets and the ^Cdirty winter ^Dsnow All the ^Glilacs in ^COhi^Do - Oh^Emio

She ^Gis the ^Dlove ^Cstory you speak ^Emof When you ^Gtalk to ^DSam at the ^Ambar But it's ^Gin the de^Dtails your ^Cstory often ^Emfails Yeah ^Gclose, but ^Dno cig^Amar

And you might ^Gsee your own ^Dass in a ^Cdouble whiskey ^Emglass But you'll ^Gnever e^Drase her ^Amsmile And you'll ^Gnever write it ^Ddown, never ^Amfind her in this ^Emtown Of phantom ^Gdreams and ^Dfingernail ^Amfiles

And it was ^Amspringtime and you were just a ^Dboy

And all the ^Glilacs in ^COhi^Do All the ^Glilacs in ^COhio^D, there you ^Emgo In the ^Gcity streets and the ^Cdirty winter ^Dsnow All the ^Glilacs in ^COhi^Do - Oh^Emio

So you ^Gpin her handker^Dchief to your ^Cclean white linen ^Emsheets And you ^Gunmake the ^Dbed and crawl ^Amin You i^Gmagine her ^Dthere and you're ^Ctangled in her ^Emhair And she ^Gsmells like ^Dflowers ^Amagain

And it's ^Amspringtime and you were just a ^Dboy

All the ^Glilacs in ^COhi^Do All the ^Glilacs in ^COhi^Do, there you ^Emgo In the ^Gcity streets and the ^Cdirty winter ^Dsnow All the ^Glilacs in ^COhi^Do - Oh^Emio
