Eliza Gilkyson - Runnin' Away CAPO: 2nd Fret INTRO: G Did you ever see a little mouse running through the furrows

D'ya ever see the hole in the ^Dground that he burrows He's ^Grunning away, a^Cway, away From the ^Geagle and the owl and the ^Dold hawk-^Gsparrow

Did you ever see the big bird flapping through the woods

Squawking and a-yelping up, ^Dsomething no good He's ^Grunning away, a^Cway, away From the ^Gbig tom cat that would ^Deat him if he ^Gcould

CHORUS: Ah, hurry up, Santa, make your legs pound I'm running on the top, I'm running on the ground

I'm ^Crunning away, away, away To a ^Gplace I know where I'll ^Dnever be ^Gfound

Did you ever see the tom cat clawing up the oak

Heading for the top just as ^Dthough he was smoke He's ^Grunning away, a^Cway, away From the ^Gbig hound dog that he ^Djust done ^Gwoke

Did you ever see the hound dog wolfing through the grass

With his tail up ahead so he ^Dwouldn't be last He's ^Grunning away, a^Cway, away From the ^Gbig boy aiming with his ^Dshotgun ^Gblast

CHORUS: Ah, hurry up, Santa, make your legs pound I'm running on the top, I'm running on the ground

I'm ^Crunning away, away, away To a ^Gplace I know where I'll ^Dnever be ^Gfound

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 ^Deverything he sees He's ^Grunning away, a^Cway, away Furry ^Gdevil right behind, gonna ^Dbring him to his ^Gknees

Now, mean old devil gotta run on too

'Cause the almighty hand of the ^Dbig man moves Gonna ^Gblow him away, a^Cway, away Every^Gbody gotta pay when the ^Dday is ^Gthrough

CHORUS: Ah, hurry up, Santa, make your legs pound I'm running on the top, I'm running on the ground

I'm ^Crunning away, away, away To a ^Gplace I know where I'll ^Dnever be ^Gfound To a place I know where I'll ^Dnever be ^Gfound
