Runnin Away Chords & Lyrics - Eliza Gilkyson

CAPO: 2nd Fret

INTRO: [G]

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

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

[CHORUS]
Ah, hurry up, Santa, make your legs pound

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

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

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

[CHORUS]
Ah, hurry up, Santa, make your legs pound

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

INSTRUMENTAL: [G] [D] [G] [C] [G] [D] [G] [C] [G]

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

Now, mean old devil gotta run on too
'Cause the almighty hand of the [D]big man moves
Gonna [G]blow him away, a[C]way, away
Every[G]body gotta pay when the [D]day is [G]through

[CHORUS]
Ah, hurry up, Santa, make your legs pound

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