[D]
He was born and raised around [A]
Jacksonville A nice young man, [D] not the kind to kill But jealous by an [G] elephant flashing plain [A] Sent him on a run [D] through the Everglades Running like a dog through the Everglades
Now the posse went in [A] and they came back out He said he'll die [D] and there ain't no doubt It's an eye for an eye [G] so the debt is paid [A] He won't last long [D] in the Everglades
A man can't [A] live in the Everglades Where [Em] a man can [F#m] hide and never be found [Em] And have no fear [D] of the big howl But he better keep moving [G] and don't stand still [A] If the Skeeters don't get him [D] then the Gators will
[G] [A]
[D] [G] [A]
[D]
Now the years went by and [A] his girl was wed His family gave [D] him up for dead But now and then [G] the native would say [A] They seen him running [D] through the Everglades Running like a dog through the Everglades
Now he never heard the news [A] on the radio He wasn't deep in the glades so [D] he'll never know His running and hiding [G] didn't make much sense For [A] the jury had to rule it [D] was self defense Running like a dog through the Everglades
Where [G] a man can't hide [F#m] and never be found [Em] And have no fear [D] of the big howl But he better keep moving [G] and don't stand still [A] If the Skeeters don't get him [D] then the Gators will Running like a dog through the Everglades Skipping like a frog through the slimy bog Running through the trees from the Everglades
