The Everglades Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Every year we pack the car
And drive it on down to [Am]Flo- ri- dar
[C]All the folk along the way
They all say, [Am]""Stay away from
the [F]Everglades""
Yeah, the Ever[Am]glades

[Verse 2]
Vir[C]ginia, North Carolina too
South Carolina your [Am]sky's so blue
[C]Georgia always looks so fine
But soon we'll cross that
[Am]Florida line
Heading toward [F]the Everglades
Yeah the Ever[Am]glades
And the driver [F]says,

[Verse 3]
""Everybody sing 'Hey Ho!'""
""Hey Ho!""
""And [G]everybody sing
'Hey Ho!'""
""Hey Ho!""
""Now [C]everybody sing
'Let's go!'""
""Let's go!""
[G]""Down into Florida [C]where the [G]old
folks roam.""
[F][C]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
[G]I s[C]tart to feel a strange wind blow
As long and dark the [Am]shadows grow
[C]Now the sky's an awful gray
As we continue [Am]on our way
Down to the [F]Everglades
Yeah the Ever[Am]glades

[Verse 5]
[Am]The car starts making a rumbling sound
I take off my [F]head[Am]phones and look around
Big dark swamp as far as I can see
Man, I [F]guess [Am]we must be
[F]In the Everglades
Yeah the [Am]Everglades
Still the driver [F]says,

[Verse 6]
""Everybody sing 'Hey Ho!'""
""Hey Ho!""
[G]""And everybody sing
'Hey Ho!'""
""Hey Ho!""
""Now [C]everybody sing
'Let's go!'""
""Let's go!""
""[G]Down into Florida where
the [Dm]old folks [F]roam.""

[Verse 7]
[F]The [G]car[Dm] slow[Am]s
down and then it stops
Phones are dead,
[F]couldn't [Am]call the cops
Panther crossing next five miles
Alligators [F]and [Am]crocodiles[F][Am]
Then we hear a ghastly roar
A sound I've never heard before
Then something [F]opens up [Am]my door

[Interlude 1]
I guess this is what they warned us for
[Am][F]
[Am][F][Am][F]

[Verse 8]
!!*#^$###@!!!*&!^!!! But that's not where my [G]story
ends
In fact it [Am]goes on end[F]lessly
'Cause now forever you'll
hear my [G]song
Whist[Am]ling through the reed[F]s
Down in [Em]the Everglades
[C]Down in the Ever[Am]glades
