Verse 1:

|N.C./F  /G  /Ab  /A 

     ||Bb                |Bbm7
  The  chamber was in con-fusion 
 |Eb/Bb         |Bb
- all the voices shouting loud.
       |Bbm7             |Cm7/Bb
I could only just hear, a voice quite near say, 
       |3/4 Ab                 |4/4 Bb     | 
"Please     help me through the     crowd"


[Verse 2] (0:13-)

            ||
 I said if I  helped her thru' she could help me too, 
 but I could see that she was wholly blind.
 But from her pale face and her pale skin, 

|3/4 Ab           ||4/4 Bb
       a moonlight      shined.

Lilywhite Lilith,
|Eb/Bb                       |Ab/Bb           |
 She gonna take you thru' the tunnel of night

|Bb          |F/Bb       |
    Lilywhite Lilith,
|Ab/Bb         |Eb/Bb         ||
      She gonna lead you right.

[Verse 3 & 4] (0:48-)

 When I'd led her through the people, 
 the angry noise began to grow. She said 
 "Let me feel the way the breezes blow, and I'll 
 show you where to go."

 So I followed her into a big round cave, she said 
 "They're coming for you, now don't be afraid."
 Then she sat me down on a cold stone throne, 
 carved in jade.


(Chorus) (1:12-)

   She  leaves me    in my darkness,
|   |B/D#         |     Bm |D#   | 
   I have to face, face my  fear,

  And the  darkness  closes in on me,
|       |B/D#                 |Bm       |D#  |
   I can hear a whirring sound   growing near.

  I can  see the corner of the tunnel,
   |G#m/D#       |       D#sus4 |D#   |D#7 |
Lit up    by what-ever's coming  here.

                Two golden globes float into the room

And a blaze of white light   fills the air.....
