Verse 1
(G major) (B minor) (E minor) Car broke down
in Alligator Alley
Tryin' to run away from Broward (B minor) County
(E minor) Smokin' the sky, there's no returnin'
30 ,000 acres of (D major) Everglade (E minor) burnin'
Southern Florida dries tender
Lightnin' turn the swamp (D major)
to cinder (E minor)
Standin' by the roadside
bummin' the air
Brushin' the ashes out (D major) of my (E minor) head
Al (B minor) ligator alley, al (A minor) ligator alley
No (G major) time to sit (B minor) and (E minor) dally
Ever (B minor) glades burnin', (A minor) everglades burn
Once (G major) it's gone, there's (B minor) no return (E minor)
Get picked up by a girl named Alice
Says she's drivin' clear (B minor) to Dal (E minor) las
With one last nod at the blazin' trees
I say, drop me off at (D major) Nashville, (E minor) please
She says, what about your automobile?
I say, leave it for someone (B minor) to steal
(E minor) It don't really run so hot
The rods are gone and the (B minor) brakes are (E minor) shut
Al (B minor) ligator Alley, (A minor) Al ligator Alley
No (G major) time to (B minor) sit and (E minor) dally
Ever (B minor) glades burnin',
(A minor) Everglades burnin'
(G major) Once it's gone, there's (B minor) no re (E minor) turn (B minor) (E minor)
(B minor) (A minor) (G major) (B minor) (E minor) (B minor) (A minor) (G major) (B minor)
(E minor)
She said, you look like Elvis Presley
I said, I know, it (D major) tends to stress (E minor) me
Gives rise to undue expectations
Another such (C major) -like ag (B minor) grava (E minor) tion
Farewell alligators, snakes and spiders
Florida panthers and (D major) big black bears
(E minor) Girls named Alice, Lorna and Sally
Goodbye Florida and (B minor) Al ligator (E minor) Alley
Al (B minor) ligator Alley, (A minor) Al ligator Alley
No (G major) time to (B minor) sit and (E minor) dally
Ever (B minor) glades burnin', (A minor) Everglades burn
(G major) Once it's gone, there's (B minor) no return
(E minor) (B minor) Alligator alley, (A minor) alligator alley
No (G major) time to (B minor) sit and dally (E minor)
(B minor) Everglades burnin', (A minor) Everglades burn
(G major) Once it's gone, there's (B minor) no re (E minor) turn
Once (G major) it's gone, there's (B minor) no return
(E minor) Once (G major) it's gone
There's (B minor) no return (E minor)
(D major) (E minor)
