[Intro] F [Verse]
F
Well in south Louisiana where the gators live that's where I was born

                               C                     F
And once a year like it or not we had to weather the storm

F
But I'll never forget the storm that took my mom and pop away

                                  C              F
And I'll never forget the words I heard my pappy say
[Chorus]
F
River's a risin' floods a comin' high tides got the folks a runnin'

C
Leave the cotton fields just as they are

                                     F
Gotta outrun panic that spreads like wildfire
*** Key change Sharp the chords to play with the video *** [Verse]
F
     Well I'm six foot seven and a big man so they say

                                    C                    F
But when the tide starts a risin' I drop to my knees and pray

F
A picture comes to me and so plainly I can see

                                C                           F
My daddy in the water and I can still hear him screamin' to me
[Chorus]
F
River's a risin' floods a comin' high tides got the folks a runnin'

C
Leave the cotton fields just as they are

                                     F
Gotta outrun panic that spreads like wildfire
*** Key change to G ***
G
      Well the share croppers cry is caught In the wind and blown away

                              D                 G
After high tide he's got more bills than he can pay

G
But I'm thankful to survive and I'm glad to be alive

                             D                 G
After thirty long years I've taught my kids to say
[Chorus]
G
River's a risin' floods a comin' high tides got the folks a runnin'

D
Leave the cotton fields just as they are

                                     G
Gotta outrun panic that spreads like wildfire

G
