THE LILY OF THE VALLEY
(Freddie Mercury/Queen. From the classic albumn _Sheer Heart
Attack_.)
There’s a small timing change — to 2/4? — at the end of the
chorus. Just play along with the recording and you’ll get it
easily enough. Chords repeated in parentheses are just there to
guide the rhythm a bit.
C G7 Am (add g bass)
I am forever searching high and low
Am Dm
But why does every body tell me no?
(Dm) G C Dm7 G
Neptune of the seas, an answer for me please
C Dm7 G Am Dm Am Dm
The lily of the valley doesn’t know
(Dm) A7/C#m C#dim Dm
I lie in wait with open eyes
(Dm) C7 F
I carry on through stormy skies
(F) C C7 C
I follow every course, my kingdom for a horse
F C/E Dm C G
But each time I grow old
C Dm7 G C Dm7 G
Serpent of the Nile, relieve me for a while
C F G Am7 G C
cast me from your spell and let me go
Messenger from seven seas has flown
To tell the king of Rhye he’s lost his throne
Wars will never cease, is there time enough for peace?
The lily of the valley doesn’t know
Extro: Am G|C
(beats) / / / / / (hold)
Strange chords:
Dm7 = xx0211
C#dim = xx1212
A7/C# = x42020
Am7 = x02213
C/E = xx2010
Also, I prefer playing C and G as 332010 and 320033 respectively,
but I don’t know that it matters much.

A E D A E
You might believe in heaven, I would not care to say
A E D A
For every star in heaven, there’s a sad soul here today
D Bm
Wake up in the morning with a good face

stare at the moon all day

Lonely as a whisper on a star chase

does anyone care anyway?
A E
For all the prayers in heaven
D F A E D E7sus4 A
so much of life’s this way

Did we leave our way behind us?

Such a long, long way behind us?

Who knows when, now who knows where?
A
Where the light of day might find us?
D7 A
Look for the day.
Take heart, my friend, we love you
though it seems like you’re alone
A million lights above you
smile down upon your home
Hurry put your troubles in a suitcase
Come let the new child play
Lonely as a whisper on a star chase
I’m leaving here, I’m gone away
For all the stars in heaven
D F A
I would not live, I could not live, this way
A
Did we leave our way behind us?
Such a long, long time behind us?
D
Leave it for some hopeless lane
A
Such a long, long way
Such a long, long way
A7
Such a long, long way
A D F A
I’m looking for, still looking for that day

Lost Opportunity (Brian)
(Only released on ‘I’m Going Slightly
Mad’ 12″/CD single)
With the morning I face the sun
I lift my head and smile for everyone
Every afternoon you’ll find me working on
I got my new shoes on
Got to be moving on
That’s what they say
Every night I’m tossed
And I shake my fevered brow
Thinking of my lost opportunity
Yes every morning I face the sun
I get so positive with everyone
Every afternoon you’ll find the cracks
showing through
They know what I’m going through
Oh yes they do
Every evening finds me
The optimist behind me
On with my lost opportunity
