Lily of the West - Mark Knopfler & The Chieftains Tabbed by: Jeff.Smart Email: Tuning: Standard This song is from the Chieftains album "The Long Black Veil" but this version is arranged and sung by Mark Knopfler. Everything should be correct. Have fun playing this great tune.

One Cday as I was GwalkiCng down Amby a F/Gshady Cgrove F I Cspied a loG/Brd of Amhigh degreEme conCversing with my Flove As she Csang her soG/Bng delAmightfulEmly while CI was sore Foppressed Saying CI bid adieu to GMolly CO', the Amlily F/Gof the Csuswest C
Well, I stepped up with my rapier and my dagger in my hand And I dragged him from my false love and boldly I bid him stand But being mad with desperation I swore I'd pierce his breast I was then deceived by Molly O', the lily of the west I then did stand stand my trial, and boldly I did plead A flaw was in my indictment found and that soon had me freed That beauty bright I did adore, the judge did her address Now go, you faithless Molly O', the lily of the west Now that I've gained my liberty a-rovin' I will go I ramble through old Ireland and travel Scotland o'er Though she thought to swear my life away she still disturbs my rest, I still must style her, Molly O', the lily of the west.
