He was [C] deep in the 'glades so he'll [G] never know.  His [G] runnin' and hidin' didn't [C] make much sense, for the [D] jury had ruled it was [G] self-defense.\r\n[G] Runnin' like a [F] dog through the [G] Everglades\r\n \r\n{ CHORUS }<\/span>\r\n[G] Runnin' like a [F] dog through the [G] Everglades\r\n[G] Skippin' like a [F] frog through the [G] slimy bog\r\n[G] Runnin' through the [F] trees from the [G] Everlys\r\n \r\n[G][G]  [C][C] [D][D][D][D]   <\/span>\r\n[G][G]  [C][C] [D][D][D][D]  <\/span>\r\n[G]\r\n<\/span> \r\n <\/span><\/pre>\n
