Lily Of The Valley

Biography:

Queen is an English rock band originally consisting of four members: vocalist and pianist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, bass guitarist John Deacon, and drummer Roger Taylor.

The band formed in London in 1970 after May and Taylor's former band Smile split after having released an album and single. Freddie replaced lead vocalist Tim Staffell, after the latter's departure from the original trio.

There was much deliberation as to what the band's name would be.

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.
