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
GG CC DDDD GG CC DDDD G I have no idea of what "everlys" are. Rick in Macon
