Intro:

Chorus:

	G
We were sta	nding

	D	G
	Standing by peaceful wa	ters

	D	G
	Standing by peaceful wa	ters

	C	D	G
	Whoa Wah Oh	Wha	Oh

Play the following pattern throughout:

Many years ago along the Illinois-Wisconsin Border

There was this Indian tribe

They found two babies in the woods

White babies

One of them was named Elizabeth

She was the fairer of the two

While the smaller and more fragile one was named Marie

Having never seen white girls before

And living on the two lakes known as the Twin Lakes

They named the larger and more beautiful Lake Lake Elizabeth

And thus the smaller lake that was hidden from the highway

Became known forever as Lake Marie

Repeat Chorus:

Many years later I found myself talking to this girl

Who was standing there with her back turned to Lake Marie

The wind was blowing especially through her hair

There was four italian sausages cooking on the outdoor grill

And they were ssssssssizzlin'

Many years later we found ourselves in Canada

Trying to save our marriage and perhaps catch a few fish

Whatever came first

That night she fell asleep in my arms

Humming the tune to "Louie Louie'

Aah baby, We gotta go now.

Repeat Chorus:

The dogs were barking as the cars were parking

The loan sharks were sharking the narcs were narcing

Practically everyone was there

In the parking lot by the forest preserve

The police had found two bodies

Nay, naked bodies

Their faces had been horribly disfigured by some sharp object

Saw it on the news The tv news in a black and white video

Do you know what blood looks like in a black and white video?

Shadows, Shadows that's what it looks like

All the love we shared between her and me was slammed

Slammed up against the banks of Old Lake Marie Marie

	G
We were sta	nding

	D	G
	Standing by peaceful wa	ters

	D	G
	Standing by peaceful wa	ters

	C	D	G
W	hoa Wah	Oh Wha	Oh

	C	D	G
W	hoa Wah	Oh Wha	Oh

	C	D	G
W	hoa Wah	Oh Wha	Oh

	C
Pe	aceful waters

	G
St	anding by peaceful waters

	G	C
Aah b	aby, w	e gotta go now

	G	C	D	G
