Evangeline chords
The Band (Robbie Robertson Live from the Shibuya Public Hall, Tokyo, Japan 25-Feb-1987)

D MajorD

  G+G
She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
           D7D7
Alone in the pale moonlight
D MajorD
Waiting for a man, a riverboat gambler
         G+G
Said that he'd return tonight
       G+G
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
            D7D7
Loving the whole night through
D MajorD
Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing
        G+G
And bring it on home to you

 G+G
Evangeline, Evangeline
G+G
Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen
   G+G
That pulled her man away

G+G
Bayou Sam, from the South Louisian
          D7D7
Had gambling in his veins
 D MajorD
Evangeline, from the Maritimes
      G+G
Was slowly going insane

  G+G
She stands on the top of Hickory Hill
                D7D7
She stands in the lightning and thunder
D MajorD
Down on the river the boat was a-sinking
         G+G
She watched that queen go under

G+G
Evangeline, Evangeline
G+G
Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen
   G+G
That pulled her man away . . . .
