Waylon Jennings – The Everglades (Guitar)

       C
He was born and raised around Jacksonville

                          Bb      C
A nice young man, not the kind to kill

        C
But the jealous fight and the flashing blades

                           Bb  C
Sent him on the run to the Everglades

                               Bb  C
Running like a dog through the Everglades

        F                Eb       F
Where a man can hide and never be found

    C                      Bb     C
And never have fear of the baying hounds

    F                   Eb          F
You better keep moving, don't stand still

       C                               Bb     C
If the skeeters don't get him then the gators will

       C                               Bb     C
If the skeeters don't get him then the gators will

          C
Well, the posse went in and it came back out

                              Bb       C
They said he'll die and there ain't no doubt

        C
It's an eye for an eye so the debt is paid

                          Bb  C
He won't last long in the Everglades

                        Bb  C
A man can't live in the Everglades

      F                Eb       F
But a man can hide and never be found

    C                      Bb     C
And never have fear of the baying hounds

    F                   Eb          F
You better keep moving, don't stand still

       C                               Bb     C
If the skeeters don't get him then the gators will

       C                               Bb     C
If the skeeters don't get him then the gators will

        C
Now the years went by and his girl was wed

                         Bb             C
His family gave up, they thought he was dead

C
Now and then the people would say

                                      Bb  C
They had seen him running through the Everglades

                               Bb  C
Running like a dog through the Everglades

        F                Eb       F
Where a man can hide and never be found

    C                      Bb     C
And never have fear of the baying hounds

    F                   Eb          F
You better keep moving, don't stand still

       C                               Bb     C
If the skeeters don't get him then the gators will

       C                               Bb     C
If the skeeters don't get him then the gators will
