[Intro]

[Verse]
F
Well in south Louisiana where the gators live that's where I was born
C F
And once a year like it or not we had to weather the storm
F
But I'll never forget the storm that took my mom and pop away
C F
And I'll never forget the words I heard my pappy say
[Chorus]
F
River's a risin' floods a comin' high tides got the folks a runnin'
C
Leave the cotton fields just as they are
F
Gotta outrun panic that spreads like wildfire
*** Key change Sharp the chords to play with the video ***
[Verse]
F
Well I'm six foot seven and a big man so they say
C F
But when the tide starts a risin' I drop to my knees and pray
F
A picture comes to me and so plainly I can see
C F
My daddy in the water and I can still hear him screamin' to me
[Chorus]
F
River's a risin' floods a comin' high tides got the folks a runnin'
C
Leave the cotton fields just as they are
F
Gotta outrun panic that spreads like wildfire
*** Key change to G ***
G
Well the share croppers cry is caught In the wind and blown away
D G
After high tide he's got more bills than he can pay
G
But I'm thankful to survive and I'm glad to be alive
D G
After thirty long years I've taught my kids to say
[Chorus]
G
River's a risin' floods a comin' high tides got the folks a runnin'
D
Leave the cotton fields just as they are
G
Gotta outrun panic that spreads like wildfire
G
Wildfire
