Daughter of the Everglades Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Were you [Dm]raised by [G]the river
Down in the low, [Am]low land
Where the [Dm]air is dark and sinister
[G]In the night,
there's no [Am]safe place to stand

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Hid in the reeds are eyes that [G]peek
Voices I can't under[Am]stand
[Dm]Flamingos flying [G]endlessly
Into the si[Am]lent sky

[Verse 3]
[C]Daughter of [Em]the Everglades
You never made it [Am]clear
[C]Daughter of [Em]the Everglades
If you wanted to [Am]be here
[C]Child of the [Em]river
I never saw [Am]your tears

[Verse 4]
Well, you [Dm]looked like [G]your mama
Before you walked, [Am]you swam
[Dm]Learned to make that snake
[G]tail stew
From your daddy, crazy talking [Am]fisherman

[Verse 5]
[Dm]In this place there is no la[G]w
The river makes all [Am]the rules
[Dm]What they are, I found [G]out
When I came back to look [Am]for you

[Verse 6]
[C]Daughter of the [Em]Everglades
Why did you bring [Am]me here?
[C]Daughter of [Em]the Everglades
My love has turned [Am]to fear
[C]Child of the [Em]river
Let me feel [Am]you near

[Verse 7]
Well, you [Dm]laughed in the [G]city
But I knew after a [Am]year
That you'd [Dm]cry in [G]the city
I should have not brought you [Am]here
So [Dm]far from [G]the bayou
Down in the low, low [Am]land
[Dm]Don't know why you left me
[G]But now I think understand
[Am]

[Verse 8]
Take me [Dm]back to the [G]river
Down in the smoky [Am]ground
[Dm]When snakes crawl, you don't [G]cheat
By the river you live for [Am]now
In [Dm]the swell of [G]the river
The river boat sails by so [Am]proud
I should [Dm]have gone there with you
[G]But now they tell me you
have [Am]drowned

[Verse 9]
[C]Daughter of [Em]the Everglades
I can feel [Am]you near
[C]Daughter of [Em]the Everglades
I know I'll [Am]find you hear
[C]Child of the [Em]river
I can't [Am]see for tears

[Verse 10]
[C]Daughter of [Em]the Everglades
I want to [Am]feel you near
[C]Daughter of [Em]the Everglades
I must [Am]find you here
[C]Child of [Em]the river
I can't see [Am]for [C]my[Em][Am][C][Em]
