All The Lilacs In Ohio

Tom : G
​ G D C Em
​Well, you met her there on a New York City stair
​ G D Am
​You were throwing up on your shoes
​ G D C Em
​Tryin' to write the great book when it really had you shook
​ G D Am
​With a bad case of wintertime blues
​ G D C Em
​So you drag her down to the ragged side of town
​ G D Am
​She had a taxi to carry her home
​ G D C Em
​Then she left her handkerchief there beside you on the seat
​ G D Am
​As if to emphasize that you were all alone
​[Pre Chorus]
​ Am D
​It smelled like springtime and you were just a boy
​[Chorus]
​ G C G D
​And all the lilacs in Ohio

[Refrão]
​ G C G D Em
​All the lilacs in Ohio, there you go
​ G C D
​In the city streets and the dirty winter snow
​ G C G D Em
​All the lilacs in Ohio - Ohio

​[Verse 2]
​ G D C Em
​She is the love story you speak of
​ G D Am
​When you talk to Sam at the bar
​ G D C Em
​But it's in the details your story often fails
​ G D Am
​Yeah close, but no cigar
​ G D C Em
​And you might see your own ass in a double whiskey glass
​ G D Am
​But you'll never erase her smile
​ G D Am Em
​And you'll never write it down, never find her in this town
​ G D Am
​Of phantom dreams and fingernail files
​[Pre Chorus]
​ Am D
​And it was springtime and you were just a boy
​[Chorus]
​ G C G D
​And all the lilacs in Ohio

[Refrão] (repetir)

​[Verse 3]
​ G D C Em
​So you pin her handkerchief to your clean white linen sheets
​ G D Am
​And you unmake the bed and crawl in
​ G D C Em
​You imagine her there and you're tangled in her hair
​ G D Am
​And she smells like flowers again
​[Pre Chorus]
​ Am D
​And it's springtime and you were just a boy
​[Chorus]
​ G C G D
​All the lilacs in Ohio

[Refrão] (repetir)
