Dm G Were you raised by the river, Am Am Down in the low, low land, Dm G Where the air is dark and sinister, Am Am In the night there's no safe place to stand. Dm G In the reeds there are eyes that peek, Am Am Voices I can't understand, Dm G Flamingos flying endlessly,
Am Am.
Into the silent sky.
C Em Daughter of the everglades, Am Am You never made it clear, C Em Child of the river, Am Am If you want me to be here, C Em Daughter of the everglades,
Am Am.
I never saw your tears.
Dm G Well you looked like your mama, Am Am Before you walked, you swam, Dm G Learned to make that snake tail stew, Am Am From your daddy, Crazy talking fisherman. Dm G In this place there is no law, Am Am The river makes all the rules, Dm G What they are, I found out, Am Am When I came to look for you.
Chorus:
C Em Daughter of the everglades, Am Am Why did you bring me here? C Em Daughter of the everglades, Am Am My love has turned to fear, C Em Child of the river, Am Am Let me feel you near. Dm G Well you laughed in the city, Am Am But I knew after a year, Dm G That you'd cry in the city, Am Am I should not have brought you here, Dm G So far from the bayou, Am Am Down in the low, low land, Dm G Don't know why you left me, Am Am But now I think I understand. Dm G Take me back to the river, Am Am Down in the smokey ground, Dm G When snakes crawl you don't cheat, Am Am By the river you live for now, Dm G In the swell of the river, Am Am Where the boat sails by some cloud, Dm G I should have gone there with you, Am Am But now they tell me you have drowned.
Chorus:
C Em Daughter of the everglades, Am Am I could feel you near, C Em Daughter of the everglades, Am Am I know I'll find you here, C Em Child of the river, Am Am I can't see for tears. C Em Daughter of the everglades, Am Am I want to feel you near, C Em Daughter of the everglades, Am Am I must find you here, C Em Child of the river, Am Am I can't see my tears
