Runnin Away Chords

(ver. 1)
Eliza Gilkyson
CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: G

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



Did you ever see the big bird flapping through the woods
                            D
Squawking and a-yelping up, something no good
     G              C   
He's running away, away, away
         G                      D             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
I'm running away, away, away
     G                       D        G
To a place I know where I'll never be found



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



Did you ever see the hound dog wolfing through the grass
                             D
With his tail up ahead so he wouldn't be last
     G              C   
He's running away, away, away
         G                       D       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
I'm running away, away, away
     G                       D        G
To a place I know where I'll never be found


INSTRUMENTAL: G     D  G  C  G  D G        C   G 



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



Now, mean old devil gotta run on too
                                D
'Cause the almighty hand of the big man moves
      G               C   
Gonna blow him away, away, away
     G                       D      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
I'm running away, away, away
     G                       D        G
To a place I know where I'll never be found
                             D        G
To a place I know where I'll never be found
