Evangeline Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
She [G]stands on the banks
of the mighty Mississippi
Alone in the pale moon[D]light
Waiting for a man, a riverboat gambler
Said that he'd return to[G]night

[Verse 2]
They used [G]to waltz on the banks
of the mighty Mississippi
Loving the whole night [D]through
'Til the riverboat gambler went off
to make a killing
And bring it on back to [G]you

[Verse 3]
Evan[C]geline, Evan[G]geline
[D]Curses the soul of the [G]Mississippi queen
That [D]pulled her man away

[Interlude 1]
[G][Dm][D][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Bayou Sam, from the south
Lousianna
Had gambling in his [D]veins
Evangeline, from the maritimes
Was slowly going in[G]sane

[Verse 5]
[G]High on the top of hickory hill
She stands in the lightning and [D]thunder
Down on the river the boat was a- sinking
She watched that queen go [G]under

[Outro 1]
