C Em Am Asus4 Am daughter of the everglades, my love has turned to fear C Em Am daughter of the everglades, let me feel you near (solo guitar) Dm G Am C Em Am Dm G Am Amadd9 Am Well, you laughed in the city, but I knew after a year Dm G Am Amadd9 Am that you'd cry in the city, I should not have brought you here Dm G Am Amadd9 Am so far from the Bayou, down in the low, low land Dm G Am Amadd9 Am don't know why you left me, but now I think I understand Dm G Am Amadd9 Am Take me back to the river, down in the smoky ground Dm G Am Amadd9 Am where snakes crawl you don't cheat, by the river you live for now Dm G Am Amadd9 Am feel the swell of the river, river sails so proud Dm G should have gone there with you, Am Amadd9 Am but now they tell me you have drowned C Em Am Asus4 Am Daughter of the everglades, you never made it clear C Em Am Asus4 Am daughter of the everglades, if you wanted to be here C Em Am child of the river, I can't see for my tears C Em Am Asus4 Am Daughter of the everglades, I want to feel you near C Em Am Asus4 Am daughter of the everglades, I know I'll find you here C Em Am child of the river, I can't see for my tears (solo piano) C Em Am C Em Am -- __Chords__: EADGBe ------ xx0231 Dm 320003 G x02210 Am x32010 C 022000 Em x00230 Asus4 x02410 Amadd9 --
