[D]
Every year we pack the car and drive it on down [Bm] to Florida.
[D] All the folks along the way, they all say, [Bm] stay away [Em] from the Everglades.
[Bm] Yeah, the Everglades.
[D] Virginia, North Carolina to South Carolina, [Bm] your sky so deep.
[D] Georgia, we look so fine, soon we'll cross that Florida [Bm] line, [Em] heading towards the Everglades.
Yeah, [Bm] the Everglades.
And the driver [G] says, everybody say, hey ho.
[A] Everybody say, hey ho.
[D] Everybody say, let's go.
[A] Down [Em] into Florida where the old folks roam.
[C#] [A] [D]
You start to feel a strange wind blow, as long and dark [Bm] shadows grow.
[D] Now the sky's an awful gray as we continue [Bm] on our way [Em] down to the Everglades.
Yeah, [Bm] the Everglades.
The car starts making a rumbling sound, I take off my headphones and look around.
Big dark swamp as far as I can see, well man I guess we must be [Em] in the Everglades.
Yeah, [Bm] the Everglades.
Still the driver [G] sings, everybody say, hey ho.
[A] Everybody say, hey ho.

The car slows down and then it stops.
Phones are dead, I [Em] couldn't call [Bm] the cops.
Panther crossing, next five miles, alligators and crocodiles.
Then we hear a ghastly roar, a sound I've never heard before.
Something opens up my door, I guess this is what they warned us for.
[C#] That's
[F#m] [Bm] [G]
not where [A] my story ends, [Bm] in fact it goes on [G] endlessly.
Now forever [A] you'll hear my song, [Bm] whistling through the [G] reeds.
Down in the Everglades.
