INTRO: F Am Dm Bb C
#1.
[F]Listen to me, [Dm]Lil, and to [F]what I've got to [Dm]tell you.
[Gm7]I've been through the [C]mill and [Gm7]I don't want to [C]sell you.
[Am]But the game of [Dm]love is [Am]hard to under[Dm]stand, so [Bb]here's
some good a[F]dvice, [Bb]never over[F]play your [C]hand.
CHORUS:
[F]Don't gild the lily, Lily..[Dm]don't let him know he's your
only thrill.
[Bb]Even though he knocks you silly, [C]when he looks at you
with his eyes of blue.
[F]Don't gild the lily, Lily, [Dm]don't overdo on the sweet talk,
too.
[Bb]If you act a little chilly, [C]he'll be hangin' round warming
up to you.
