Tonart: A minor
Verse 1
Am
I'd never tell a man to ask
my daddy for my hand
I've got a thousand tales about
the temper of that man
He'd shoot a man who came within
a mile of my young frame
But I know that you will take the risk
so I can take your name
Dm
You've got the ring,
Verse 2

Am

We can run away and never come home
Verse 4
Am
My Daddy finally knocked a
little sense right into me
So I asked around until I found the
Justice of the Peace
The bruises on my body
can't be hidden anymore
So park your car up on the hill,
I'm headed out the door
Verse 5
Dm
Step easy so my daddy doesn't
E
Hang around he'll shoot you down
Am
that's why we just can't stay

Verse 7
Dm
Follow close behind me,
D
Am
not much further now
Always just a shadow,
I didn't hear a sound
Dm
Ain't no way he heard us,
Ain't no way he'll come
E
I hear someone breathin',
hold my hand and run
Am

Verse 8
Am
Somewhere in the river
there's a gun the devil owned
Somehow everybody knew that
everything was wrong
A noose up in the maple tree; the
old man's gonna pay
Two headstones for two lovers
