rick in macon everglades in key of G

G D
he was born and raised around jacksonville
C G
a nice young man , not the kind to kill
C
but a jealous fight and a flashin’ blade
D G
sent him on the run to the everglades
G F G
runnin’ like a dog through the everglades

G D
now , the posse went in and they came back out
C G
they said he’ll die and there ain’t no doubt
G C
it’s an eye for an eye so the debt is paid
D G
he won’t last long in the everglades
G F G
a man can’t live in the everglades

chorus :
C G
where a man can hide and never be found
D G
and have no fear of the bayin’ hounds
G C
but he better keep movin’ and don’t stand still
D G
if the skeeters don’t get him then the gators will

G D
now , the years went by and his girl was wed
C G
his family gave him up for dead
G C
but now and then the natives would say
D G
they’d seen him runnin’ through the everglades
G F G
runnin’ like a dog through the everglades

G D
now , he never heard the news on the radio
C G
he was deep in the ’glades so he’ll never know
G C
his runnin’ and hidin’ didn’t make much sense
D G
for the jury had ruled it was self – defense
G F G
runnin’ like a dog through the everglades

chorus again
C G
where a man can hide and never be found
D G
and have no fear of the bayin’ hounds
G C
but he better keep movin’ and don’t stand still
D G
if the skeeters don’t get him then the gators will

outro :
G F G
runnin’ like a dog through the everglades
G F G
skippin’ like a frog through the slimy bog
G F G
runnin’ through the trees from the everlys
