Verse 1
Were (A minor) you (D minor) raised by the river (G major)
Down in the low, (A minor) low land
Where the (D minor) air is dark and sinister
In (G major) the night,
there's no safe (A minor) place to stand
Verse 2
(D minor) Hid in the reeds are eyes that peek (G major)
Voices I can't understand (A minor)
Flamin (D minor) gos flying endlessly (G major)
Into the silent (A minor) sky

Verse 3
(C major) Daughter of the Everglades (E minor)
You never made it (A minor) clear
(C major) Daughter of the Everglades (E minor)
If you wanted to (A minor) be here
Child (C major) of the river (E minor)
I never saw (A minor) your tears
Verse 4
Well, you (D minor) looked like your mama (G major)
Before you walked, you swam (A minor)
(D minor) Learned to make that snake
tail stew (G major)
From your daddy, crazy talking (A minor) fisherman
Verse 5
(D minor) In this place there is no law (G major)
The river makes all the rules (A minor)
(D minor) What they are, I found out (G major)
When I came back to look (A minor) for you
Verse 6
(C major) Daughter of the Everglades (E minor)
Why did you bring (A minor) me here?
(C major) Daughter of the Everglades (E minor)
My love has turned (A minor) to fear

Let me feel (A minor) you near

Verse 7
Well, you (D minor) laughed in the city (G major)
But I knew after a (A minor) year
That you'd (D minor) cry in the city (G major)
I should have not brought you (A minor) here
So (D minor) far from the bayou (G major)
Down in the low, low (A minor) land
(D minor) Don't know why you left me
(G major) But now I think understand
(A minor)
Verse 8
Take me (D minor) back to the river (G major)
Down in the smoky ground (A minor)
(D minor) When snakes crawl, you don't cheat (G major)
By the river you live for (A minor) now
In the swell (D minor) of the river (G major)
The river boat sails by so proud (A minor)
I should (D minor) have gone there with you
(G major) But now they tell me you
have (A minor) drowned

I can feel (A minor) you near

Child (C major) of the river (E minor)
I can't see (A minor) for tears

(C major) Daughter of the Everglades (E minor)
I want to feel (A minor) you near
(C major) Daughter of the Everglades (E minor)
I must find (A minor) you here
