C          G         Am 
Oh Liza oh Liza its time 
   C         Em          G    
To make our run in the night

Across the lower 40 and through the break in the pines

Verse
 
  Am              Em         D          C 
I met you in the spring one cold crazy day  
     Am           G           D        
Snow falling with bright sunshine  
  Am              Em         D                   C 
I never understood the first words that you said  
     Am              G           D        
Something about the blue in your mind  


        Em                       D 
And you told your father I was an evil man  
        Em                                  D 
And he cornered me at the feed store in town  
        Am                 Em                D               C 
He said “Don’t you go near Liza, boy, or I’ll put you in the ground”  
Am          G              D        
All I could do was crack a smile  


C          G         Am 
Oh Liza oh Liza its time 
   C         Em          G    
To make our run in the night  
C                G                     Am   
Across the lower 40 and through the break in the pines   
C          Em         D 
Oh Liza oh Liza its time

Verse

  Am                  Em         D          C 
I dreamed we danced a waltz up to the timberline  
     Am     G                D        
And tiptoed along the power wires  
  Am                 Em         D          C 
Your brown hair was trailing us half a mile behind  
    Am    G                D        
Oh Liza I dreamed you were mine  


        Em                          D 
But you told your brother I was an evil man 
        Em                                 D  
And he came at me with a machete in his hand  
       Am           Em                 D               C 
But he never saw my pistol, Lord, and when he hit the ground  
     Am               G           D        
His eyes were shiny, silver and wild  


C          G         Am 
Oh Liza oh Liza you’re mine  
   C              Em          G    
I wouldn’t try to struggle or fight  
C                   G               Am 
Across the swollen river and to the old abandoned mine  
C          Em         D 
Oh Liza oh Liza you’re mine
