Am Em D C Am G D   (2x)

[CHORUS]

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 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


[CHORUS]

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


[SOLO - Play INTRO Chords]

Am Em D C Am G D   (2x)


[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



[CHORUS]

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


[OUTRO]

C          Em         D
Oh Liza oh Liza you’re mine
C          Em         D
Oh Liza oh Liza its time
C          Em         D
Oh Liza oh Liza you’re mine
