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
[Refrão]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
[Refrão]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
