CAPO ON #3

C        G
Lilly loved her rocking horse
 D
Until she learnt to sing,
  C          G
And people?d say, ?Your lass, she play,
   D
She?s such a pretty thing?
     C     D    C
And she?s all of the time in the world.
C        G
Lilly loved her brother so,
   D
They start to face it all,
C        G
Standing high to touch the sky,
  D
But yet just three feet tall,
     C      D    C
And they had all the love in the world.

C            G           D
She walked from rope to floor through love and war,
  C        G         D
She gave up all she had and still gave more,
  C          G         D
Her stars and there?s a light and burning bright,
     C
But then tonight,
Am     D   C
I?m feeling older now.

(Instrumental)

C        G
Lilly she?d look over land
   D
She?d like to make her home,
   C        G
It?s there she had a loving man,
  D
Never to be alone,
    C      D      C
And she had all the love in the world,
  C        G
And Lilly?s so much older then,
   D
With nothing left to fear,
 C        G
Until one day she dared to say,
D
?Listen all you near,
   C      D      C
For I have all the time in the world?

C            G           D
She walked from rope to floor through love and war,
  C        G         D
She gave up all she had and still gave more,
  C          G         D
Her stars and there?s a light and burning bright,
     C
But then tonight,
Am     D   C
I?m feeling older now.

C       G
Lilly she her baby rocked
  D
So silently to sleep,
C       G
Carefully she laid alone
  D
And dared to slumber deep,
    C      D      C
And she held all the love in the world,
C        D      C
But Lilly wasn?t long for the world.
