Runnin Away

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                         
From the eagle and the owl and the 
D        G
old hawk-sparrow



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


CHORUS:
Ah, hurry up, Sinner, 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    
To a place I know where I'll never
    G
 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  
From the big hound dog that he 
       G

Did you ever see the hound dog 
wolfing through the grass
With his tail up ahead so he 
D

     G              C
He's running away, away, away
         G                      
From the big boy aiming with his 
 D       G
shotgun blast


CHORUS:
Ah, hurry up, Sinner, 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    
To a place I know where I'll never
    G
 be found

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                        
Furry devil right behind, gonna 
 D                G
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    
Everybody gotta pay when the day 
  G
is through


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

I'm running on the top, I'm running 
on the ground
    C
I'm running away, away, away
