Eliza Gilkyson - Runnin' Away


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: G+G

Did you ever see a little mouse running through the furrows
               D MajorD
D'ya ever see the hole in the ground that he burrows
   G+G       C majorC
He's running away, away, away
     G+G             D MajorD    G+G
From the eagle and the owl and the old hawk-sparrow

Did you ever see the big bird flapping through the woods
              D MajorD
Squawking and a-yelping up, something no good
   G+G       C majorC
He's running away, away, away
     G+G           D MajorD       G+G
From the big tom cat that would eat him if he could


CHORUS:
Ah, hurry up, Santa, make your legs pound

I'm running on the top, I'm running on the ground
  C majorC
I'm running away, away, away
   G+G            D MajorD    G+G
To a place I know where I'll never be found


Did you ever see the tom cat clawing up the oak
              D MajorD
Heading for the top just as though he was smoke
   G+G       C majorC
He's running away, away, away
     G+G           D MajorD     G+G
From the big hound dog that he just done woke


Did you ever see the hound dog wolfing through the grass
               D MajorD
With his tail up ahead so he wouldn't be last
   G+G       C majorC
He's running away, away, away
     G+G            D MajorD    G+G
From the big boy aiming with his shotgun blast

CHORUS:
Ah, hurry up, Santa, make your legs pound

I'm running on the top, I'm running on the ground
  C majorC
I'm running away, away, away
   G+G            D MajorD    G+G
To a place I know where I'll never be found


INSTRUMENTAL: G+G   D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G    C majorC  G+G


Did you ever see the big boy running through the trees
             D MajorD
Scared of his shadow and everything he sees
   G+G       C majorC
He's running away, away, away
   G+G             D MajorD        G+G
Furry devil right behind, gonna bring him to his knees


Now, mean old devil gotta run on too
                D MajorD
'Cause the almighty hand of the big man moves
   G+G        C majorC
Gonna blow him away, away, away
   G+G            D MajorD   G+G
Everybody gotta pay when the day is through


CHORUS:
Ah, hurry up, Santa, make your legs pound

I'm running on the top, I'm running on the ground
  C majorC
I'm running away, away, away
   G+G            D MajorD    G+G
To a place I know where I'll never be found
               D MajorD    G+G
To a place I know where I'll never be found
