Hi Gang,

I'm looking for chords to Flora, The Lily Of The West. The version in the database, or any other version, for that matter. I'm sure it was recorded by PP&M and by Joan Baez, as well as many others.

Thanx,

Bert C

Joan Baez plays this capo 6th fret:
(Em) When first I came to (G)Lou-is-(D)ville,
Some(C)pleasure there(Em)to find,
A(G)damsel there from Lex-ing-(D)ton
Was(C)pleasing to(Em)my mind.
Her(G)rosy cheeks,her ruby(D)lips,
Like(Em)arrows pierced my(Em)breast...
And the name she bore was(G)Flo-(D)ra,
The(C)Lily of the(Em)West.

Personally I prefer to use(Am)shape(Capo 1st fret).

Good Luck!!

John.

Interesting -- the two versions are quite different and neither is quite the way I thought I remembered it. I'll have to play around with them a bit. Thanx for the help.
