A Lilac Harry Quinn chords by Half Man Half Biscuit

G           C
In this sumptuous hacienda
    G                   D
Where I weigh things up as they're on the way down
    G               C
From beneath your Reverend Jim Jones bedspread
      G        D        G
I watch the angels look down onto your sweet brow.
              C
If God had meant for us to work
G                  D
Then I'm sure he would have given us jobs
  G                   C
Six weeks to live but at least I'm not in Journey
G      D   C G    G C D G (x4)
Sign on you crazy diamond.
G    C     D    G
I didn't take much time convincing her
     C    D    G
Baby I'm from the Wirral peninsula
      C      D     G
A merciless despot with nothing to lose
   C    D    G    G C G D (x2)
In my Dick Quax running shoes.
G       C      D    G
Underneath the shade of the average tree
         C    D  G
Where they handed out mediocrity
        C    D     G
I saw you with ˜Alchemy' under your arm
        C      D  G
Standing in the middle of a long queue.

(instr. G C D G (x4), A D A E C, Bm F# (x4))
Bm         F#   Bm       F#
I saw the Goodyear airship sail over your head
Bm        F#    Bm      F#
I saw the joke I told you fly over your head
Bm           F#           Bm   F#
Why don't they have any badminton courts in the jungle?
Bm            F#  Bm             F#  C D G (x4)
Because there isn't the demand, oh let me take you by the hand.
