im not sure what the C should really be, but using a C sounds ok.
 
F
I remember back in Illinois I found her
 
Am                                                G#
The lily of the valley the lily of the West was a rose
 
F
The daughter of the biggest big town banker
 
Am                                                           G#
He kept her like a princess I stole her like the Fort Knox gold
 
F
She used to pour Four Roses like it was going down the chimney
 
Am                                                     G#
Like the bottle was on fire or the boiler was about to blow
 
F
She was up on the table when we hit Missouri
 
Am                                                       G#
Dancing with a movie man he was holding her a little too close
 
F             Am           G#
La didi da da da da da da da!
 
F
He made her the star of the silent movies
 
Am                                      G#
But all she did was mouth the words ,Oh no!
 
F
And he cast me as the villain as the sheriff¹s worst enemy
 
Am                                           G#
I practiced falling off of buildings and out windows
 
La didi da da da da da da da!
 
Piano part:   F Am G#
 
F
The last time I saw she was tied to the train tracks
 
Am                                                  G#
I was back there with the extras riding on a tiger roan
 
F
The villain on the left with the studio mustache
 
Am                                                G#
Winking at Lillian blowing kisses from the second row
 
F             Am         G#
La didi da da da da da da da!
