FLOWER OF THE EVERGLADES
As recorded by Joe Stamm feat. Charles Wesley Godwin
(2024 release)
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C Am
The house sits lonely, defiant of the sea
G F C
A monument of heartache lies at rest in Wilson Key
Am
Born of another time, its design of another world
G F C
Footings in the sand, a brick and mortar pearl
[Verse 2]
C Am
There was an oil man from Texas, pockets deepers than his wells
G F C
Fell for a Flower of the Everglades, she drowned him in her swells
Am
When he asked her to marry, she said yes, but with a price
G F C
A mansion by the sea, looking over paradise
[Chorus]
G Am
And how she loved that home
G Am
Furious as a hurricane can storm
C G C G/B Am
Planted in the sand under the sun over the keys
C G Am G Am
A Flower of the Everglades, living out her dreams
[Verse 3]
C Am
Kids need raisin and a husband needs love
G F C
She'd give em all they needed while her own roof sits above
Am
Thirteen years of sunsets, peaking through the palms
G F C
Storms blew in and out, the mansion always holding strong
[Verse 4]
C Am
Sirens sing on Labor Day, nineteen thirty-five
G F C
A hurricane destroyer, no one could survive
Am
Her family begged and pleaded, finally forced to drive away
G F C
Her silhouette defiant in the violent ocean spray
[Chorus]
G Am
And how she loved that home
G Am
Furious as a hurricane can storm
C G C G/B Am
Planted in the sand under the sun over the keys
C G Am G Am
A Flower of the Everglades, living out her dreams
[Bridge]
F G
From backyard views in bedrooms inside foster homes
Am F
She dreamed of seagull cries in paradise and a place to call her own
G
A promise to the ocean, if it found her she would stay
Am F
And it holds her in its rhythms, ever whispering her name
G Am G F
Flower of the Everglades, Flower of the Everglades
G C
Flower of the Everglades
[Verse 5]
C Am
The oil man long dead, her children up and grown
G F C
Still refuse to sell their mother's precious home
Am
The ocean her grave, the mansion her stone
G F C
Carved with a Flower this part of Florida's never known
