The Life of Lilly Ruth Notman
CAPO ON #3
[C]Lilly loved her [G]rocking horse
Un[D]til she learnt to sing,
And [C]peopleâ??d say, â??Y[G]our lass, she play,
Sheâ??[D]s such a pretty thingâ??
And sheâ??[C]s all of th[D]e time i[C]n the world.
[C]Lilly loved her [G]brother so,
They [D]start to face it all,
[C]Standing high to [G]touch the sky,
But [D]yet just three feet tall,
And they [C]had all the [D]love in [C]the world.
[C]She walked from rope to [G]floor through love and [D]war,
She [C]gave up all she [G]had and still gave [D]more,
Her [C]stars and thereâ??s [G]a light and burnin[D]g bright,
But then [C]tonight,
[Am]Iâ??m feelin[D]g olde[C]r now.

[C]Lilly sheâ??d loo[G]k over land
Sheâ??[D]d like to make her home,
Itâ??[C]s there she had [G]a loving man,
Nev[D]er to be alone,
And she [C]had all the [D]love in the [C]world,
And [C]Lillyâ??s so muc[G]h older then,
With [D]nothing left to fear,
Un[C]til one day she [G]dared to say,
[D]â??Listen all you near,
For I [C]have all the [D]time in the [C]worldâ??
[C]She walked from rope to [G]floor through love and [D]war,
She [C]gave up all she [G]had and still gave [D]more,
Her [C]stars and thereâ??s [G]a light and burnin[D]g bright,
But then [C]tonight,
[Am]Iâ??m feelin[D]g olde[C]r now.
[C]Lilly she her [G]baby rocked
So [D]silently to sleep,
[C]Carefully she [G]laid alone
And [D]dared to slumber deep,
And she [C]held all the [D]love in the [C]world,
[C]But Lilly wasnâ??[D]t long for th[C]e world.
