VERSE
G              Am
Lily, my one and only
G                           Am
I can  hardly wait til I see her
G                  Am
Silly I know I'm silly
        Bm                 (lead fig 1)
Cause I'm hanging in this tree
   Am                      D (I think)
In the hopes that she will catch a glimpse of..
  G  Am  C
..me     and thru her window..
  G    Am        C
..shade (shade)  I watch her shadow..
  G    Am        C

G      Am       C                 Am
..moooo-ove     I wonder if she   could only see me?

When I'm with her I feel fine (fine fine fine)
Bm                             Am
If I could kiss her I wouldn't mind the time
   D (I think)
It took to find my...

G
..Lily..  (same as verse)

Bm
Cause as they're dragging me away
Am                D (I think)        G       strum G slowly backwards
I swear I saw her raise her hand and wave........GOODBYE

By the way this song is about a peeping tom--looking thru windows, hanging
in trees, being taken away by the police...... :)
