im not sure what the C should really be, but using a C sounds ok.

F
I remember back in Illinois I found her

Am                                                C
The lily of the valley the lily of the West was a rose

F
The daughter of the biggest big town banker

Am                                                           C
He kept her like a princess I stole her like the Fort Knox gold

F
She used to pour Four Roses like it was going down the chimney

Am                                                      C
Like the bottle was on fire or the boiler was about to blow

F
She was up on the table when we hit Missouri

Am                                                        C
Dancing with a movie man he was holding her a little too close

F             Am           C
La didi da da da da da da da!

F
He made her the star of the silent movies

Am                                      C
But all she did was mouth the words ,Oh no!

F
And he cast me as the villain as the sheriff¹s worst enemy

Am                                            C
I practiced falling off of buildings and out windows

La didi da da da da da da da!

Piano part:   F Am C

F
The last time I saw she was tied to the train tracks

Am                                                  C
I was back there with the extras riding on a tiger roan

F
The villain on the left with the studio mustache

Am                                                 C
Winking at Lillian blowing kisses from the second row

F             Am          C
La didi da da da da da da da!
