I Have Considered The Lilies Tabulatur von Connie Converse

[Verse]
Ab
I have considered the lilies
Ab                         Db
They never toil, they only bloom
     Fm         Ab        Fm       Ab
They never feel chilly or tired or silly
Fm             Ab        Eb7
And they don't need much room

[Verse]
Ab
I have considered the lilies
Ab                         Db
I have considered how they grow
Db       A              Ab   F
Tell me, tell me how to be a lily
Bbm Eb Ab
If you know

[Verse]
Ab         Dbm  Ab   Db      Bbm     Ab
Oh lilies, toil not, neither do they spin
Ab        Db      Ab      Db
I'm gonna take my working papers
Ab/C          Eb7
And turn them in
Ab                  Db
I'm handing over my pencil and pen
Ab                    Db7
I won't be needing my broom again
Ab             Eb7add9
I'll bloom by day, I'll bloom by night
    Ab       Db      Eb Ab
And blooming will be my delight

[Chorus]
Db  Eb
Wry Tigerlily
Edim7    F
Still waterlily
Bb           Ebm/Bb    Bb7
See how they all dilly-dally
            Ab        Db          Ab/C        Bbm7
Look at the day lily, lemon lily, calla-lily
        Ab            Db     Eb     Ab
And the lovely little lilies of the valley


[Verse]
Ab         Dbm  Ab   Db      Bbm     Ab
Oh lilies, toil not, neither do they spin
Ab        Db      Ab      Db
I'm gonna take my working papers
Ab/C          Eb7
And turn them in
Ab                  Db
To be more splendid than Solomon
Ab                    Db7
I walk around wearing the morning sun
Ab             Eb7add9
I'll bloom by day, I'll bloom by night
    Ab       Db      Eb Ab
And blooming will be my delight

[Bridge]
Db          Eb     Edim7   F      Bb      Bb/F Bb
It would be fun but I'm afraid that I would freeze
    Fm   Eb     Edim7  F          Eb          Eb7
King Solomon was not arrayed like one of these
Db         Fm  Db  F         Db
So lilies, I can't afford to dilly-dally

[Chorus]
            Db   Eb             Edim  F
I've got to work for my cotton, work for my denim
Bb        Ebm/Bb     Bb7   Bb
Linen and damask and challis
             Ab        Db          Ab/C       Bbm7
Not like the day lily, lemon lily, calla-lily
        Ab            Db     Eb7    Ab
And the lovely little lilies of the valley

[Outro]
Ab
I have considered the lilies
Ab                         Db
I have considered how they grow
Db       A              Ab   F
Tell me, tell me how to be a lily
Bbm Eb Ab
If you know
